We have noticed an abundance of climbers on Cowles Mountain over the past few weeks — even at night when we’ve seen a few hikers continue over to Pyles Peak. We have observed how far technology has advanced in just the past 10 years, so that a person can illuminate a treacherous single-track trail to ascend to the top of Cowles Mountain, even on a moonless night. It’s technology that will also help us address this virus hopefully in the near future so we can return to a more normal way of living. We simply all need to pull our weight, wear a mask and socially distance.
