Ok so if you know me…you’ll know I’m not the most athletically coordinated person. Dancing was pretty much the only athletic thing I could ever do. So…when Ryan asked me if I wanted to hike Camelback out of the blue last weekend, my automatic reaction was to run and hide. :) But…since it was my birthday weekend and I wanted to show that I was growing up haha, I said yes to my fears and off we went to hike an insane mountain we hadn’t hiked in three years. To you athletic folks, you might think I’m a freak, but Camelback is a dang hard mountain to hike! It’s basically boulder climbing most of the way up and some parts are so steep that they had to install long metal poles so you can pull yourself up the rocks. Yeah…maybe we should have started our hiking adventure with an easier one. My legs would have been grateful. Anyway, after a few slips and with shaking legs and cut up hands (from the boulders) I made it to the top! Oh how proud I was. :) (Yes I’m a wimp sometimes and I’m working on that!) Here are some desert photos to warm up those of you who are lucky and have snow outside!
Ignore how hideous I look in this photo and just appreciate the fact we’re at the top! :)
