I checked out the trail you recommended last weekend and it was a great choice. The elevation gain was steady but not too steep, and the views from the top were worth the effort. We started around eight in the morning when the temperature was still cool. The trail was well marked so we did not have any trouble following the path. There were a few stream crossings that added some nice variety to the terrain. We stopped for a snack at the midpoint where there was a small clearing with a bench. The total hike took us about four hours with breaks included. I would suggest bringing plenty of water because there are not many shaded spots after the tree line. The parking area was not too crowded when we arrived, but it was filling up when we came back down around noon. Overall it was a solid outing and I would be happy to go back again.

I tried making that lentil soup recipe you sent over and it turned out quite flavorful. I used vegetable broth as the base and added some carrots and celery from the farmers market. The cumin and coriander gave it a warm spice profile that worked well with the lentils. I let it simmer for about forty minutes which allowed the flavors to develop nicely. I served it with a dollop of yogurt and some fresh herbs on top. It made enough for several meals so I froze some portions for later. The recipe was straightforward and did not require any hard to find ingredients. I might try adding some spinach or kale next time for extra color and nutrients. Let me know if you have tried any other variations that worked well for you.
