I want to note for posterity that Willa completed her first full hike last Thursday. We set off for Chautauqua Park after breakfast. I hiked her up Chautauqua Trail to the Bluebell Mesa trailhead in a pack and set her down. I was not expecting her to hike the whole trail and, from there, all the way down to the playground by Chautauqua Hall. We had such a lovely time together that I plan to take her for another hike this Thursday and see how it goes.
