Sore muscles. That’s all I can think about the day after hiking Duli Shan. This was the first time I went hiking since coming back to Taiwan in August. I love Taiwan for the mountain hiking, something you can’t really get in Iowa. We’ve had a couple of typhoons and big rain storms. After these types of weather events you can expect the trail to be a little rough. I had forgotten this fact though. So when Michael, Andrew, Noel, and myself started out on the trail the sight that we saw surprised me. Looking out for safety the park put up a strip of ribbon to tell hikers that the trail was inaccessible. This did not deter anyone though and a makeshift trail was made to bypass the inaccessible part. We were able to enjoy the rest of the trail.
