Where
Shadow Mountain, from Sweetwater Ave at 28th St
Duration
1 hour
Notable
First run-and-hike of the year
The closest trailhead to my home isn't the 40th St Trailhead I keep going back to; it's the 28th St Shadow Mountain Trailhead, which this year I hadn't yet been to until today.
The trailhead is close enough to my home to run to comfortably, and one possible route takes me by Alice Cooper's thrift store. “The Attic” is in a run down shopping center also hosting a church, community center, and Alice Cooper's after-school program for teens.
Shadow Mountain is smaller than many unnamed peaks in the valley—about 100m vertical—but it's steep, and the footing is tricky in spots, so it's a real hike.
Speaking of which, today's hike was uneventful. I passed one hiker descending while I ascended but otherwise had the mountain to myself.

Interested in more info about Alice Coopers after school program for teens. Do they play golf? Questionably apply make up? Is it music related? How often does Alice participate?
Bobby et al.— Good questions, all. Here's the program's website: http://alicecoopersolidrock.com.
I didn't see anything on the site about golf or make-up, but the program is about music, dance, and other arts, so probably some make-up is involved, and because we're talking about teenagers here, the make-up is certain to be questionable. (Is “certain questionableness” an oxymoron?) Also, I didn't see anything on the site as to how or when Alice is directly involved in the program beyond funding and/or branding.
