The next day. A QUICK jog to ‘The Platform’ & back.

Boot Head‘ is my favorite amble on the ‘Bold Coast‘. Great ROI (i.e., ‘Return on Investment’) in terms of the views you are rewarded with for the time & effort it takes.

When I have the time I like to do the complete LOOP — as shown above. If I am rushed for time, I like to just sprint up to ‘The Platform‘, have a quick gander, & then bound down — as I did on May 18, 2024 (i.e., 2nd picture). On this Friday, it was getting late (i.e., sunset) so I skipped the quick jog to ‘Brook Cove‘. It isn’t as if I haven’t hike this place enough. SMILE.

The QUICKER I can get to the ‘head’ (i.e., the ‘Platform’) the higher the ROI.

Amazing … BEAUTIFUL afternoon & I was the ONLY one there. I am not complaining. Just feel sad as to what people are missing out.

Judging from the trees blocking the trail, on the ‘backside’ of the Loop, not too many people have hiked it so far, this year. I am sure the trees will be cleared soon.

ENJOY. Boot Head is AMAZING. Boot Head is special.

This was my 2nd trip up on this trip. I did the whole loop, at a more leisurely pace, on Friday. On Saturday I was limited for time. So, I had to ‘sprint’ up. SMILE. Takes me longer to come down than go up! Have to me more careful of slipping/falling. I can make it up in 12 minutes. Just under 14 to come down. SMILE.
