I see what you did there.

I live on top of a ridge, where it ends. Used to have a nice view, but then the trees grew too tall. Anywhere I walk is downhill, even to get down to the ridge road, so I can walk up the ridge.

I like going up first (get the hard part out of the way) then down. I’ve got several hikes around here (South San Francisco Bay) that I like that range from 700 ft climbs up to 1,300. There’s one 2,500 foot climb I do a couple times a year.

If I drive up to Skyline Blvd, I start off downhill and hike back up. Spectacular vistas, but I prefer the hard part first.
