hike in Los Cahorros

my whole group of like 45 UC students went in a bus Sunday to a pretty white village on these dry foothills about 20 minutes by bus out of Granada. we hiked up through the steep streets of the village and then came out into this gorgeous big valley that we hiked along. going into the mountains we hiked along the river which was gorgeous, and at some points we had to crawl where the rock wall was low hanging. it was a very fun trail. we stopped a ways in and then were told we had some time for lunch. a big group of us decided we wanted to scale this really steep path and get as high up as we could, so we took off through the thick, sharp bushes until we reached this awesome lunch spot on an outcropping of very pointy rocks with an incredible view. it was a fun hike, in the middle of the day so it was crazy hot. it was wonderful to get some good exercise for the first time in a while too.
