As daylight was beginning to fade, I headed back down the hill. The trails between the ridge were not as well marked as the main runs and I ended up wandering through vineyards, abandoned houses and even a herd of goats. When the trail went away I took a road back toward Corniglia. The setting sun produced great views.






I arrived in town just as it got dark and caught the train back to Riomaggiore. I was pretty tired after all of that hiking. I think my hiking today rivaled some of the epic hikes I did in Colorado, but with the added bonus of the beach.
