Now, I’m not very athletic and I did have a four year old in tow, so I wasn’t expecting anything sweat worthy. To my surprise Bri and I make a pretty good hiking team, we both have about the same uphill walking pace! All together we trekked for about 1 & 1/2 miles, half of that being straight up the mountain side.

About two thirds of the way up I thought Bri was going to turn around, and I would have been happy to join her. Just as I considered giving in to the high altitude and my weak legs a little boy, about nine years old, passed us on the path heading down. So what’s special about that? Well that little boy only had one leg and was visably struggling but kept going nonetheless. If he could do it, then two able bodied girls, at any age, could do it to. More importantly, I was thankful we could do it.

At the top we found this great look out structure! I would love to do an engagement or family session up there.
