Brutal. That is the word that best describes this hike. It's a good kind of brutal, but brutal nonetheless. I was surprised that we weren't completely paralyzed afterward and I was amazed at how quickly we covered a lot of steep ground. It's a high-incline trail and long hike, but the vistas and fabulous flora and fauna are well worth the time investment:
Although we didn't make it all the way to the summit this time, I'm for sure going to hike this trail again. It's a good challenge and I like challenging myself. I think I am drawn to things that can be difficult because I like being able to conquer and put them in perspective relative to everything else in my life. What about you?
It is nice to challenge yourself. Good luck on your second attempt.
