A major advantage of the beach trail over the forest trail is that it's flat. Walking on a sandstone shelf is like walking on a sidewalk. Walking on sand, well, your feet do slip and slide, although hiking poles help propel you forward. Plus, if you walk behind your partner and step in footprints already compressed, the going is considerably easier. Larry neglected to tell Brian about this advantage for several days.
