I had been researching the 6 pack of peaks but had very little hiking experience (one 3 mile hike) and hadn’t even worked out for a year. I went on a 4-5 mile hike the day before (not smart) and then showed up sore as all heck to hike Wilson the next morning. It was bug-riddled and steep and HARD. I got to the top and pretty much felt like I was going to die. The girls I was with were fantastic and patient though – one of whom has continued on to complete my other peaks with me. On the way back we missed a turn and turned the 14 mile loop into a 17 mile trek which was awesome for this beginner ??. After that, I was hooked. The adrenaline rush, the sense of accomplishment, and pushing myself to physical limits became an addiction.
