After hiking the Welch/Dickey loop I drove over to Stinson Mountain for my second hike of the day. This would be a 3.6 mile round trip hike and is on the 52 With a View list.
My plan for today was to do two hikes. The first hike would be the Welch/Dickey loop. This is a long drive for me so since I was going to be in the same area of the state I would do a second hike to Stinson Mountain. All three of these mountains are on the 52 with a View list.
