Redhawk Caldera Nature trail to hell

Set @ RHC. Tagging: @Blue Willow. :)

When Peregrine stirred from sleep, he discovered his new homeland rimmed in frost. He rose, his breath forming a white cloud at the tip of his muzzle. He gave his swarthy body a shake, then left his sleeping mate and began walking up toward the caldera's rim. He could patrol, mark and warm up his body, all at the same time.

A light fog clung to the lake. From the ridge line, it looked rather picturesque and spooky all at once. Peregrine appreciated the view a moment, then dropped down the side of the caldera toward its perimeter. Although the sky was cloudy, with no sign of the sun, the frost was already melting. The Alpha male went slowly, not particularly wanting to join Fox as an invalid.
