Last weekend we went up to the mountains and went hiking on Saturday (I forgot the camera, which is probably just as well). We planned to do a 4 mile hike, but ended up trying a different one. Nearly 5 hours later (and about 7 miles) we got back to the car. Matt carrying an extra 30 pounds on his back and me carrying an extra 10 pounds in the front made for a long and tiring hike. That, along with the fact that we weren't really sure where we were, inspired Matt to get a trail map at REI.
This weekend, we planned to do a 5 mile hike, but ended up hiking to the top of Bottle Peak (11,581 ft) which was probably a 6 mile hike. This time we were better prepared with a map, extra food and some inspiration to reach the summit. Our hard work paid off.
