The humbling hike

Peak Mt Wilson
Group Roger
Trailhead Chantry Flats

I completed the first of 6 summits yesterday with my husband. The day was gorgeous, the trail wasn’t crowded & we both thought up & back down no problem. Piece of cake. Wow did we underestimate this hike. For us the mountain showed its teeth just after Camp Sturtevant. But we made it up to the summit, had some food & enjoyed the view (while secretly wishing we had a ride back down). Finishing the hike made me think about how I would feel on a 3 or 4 day backpacking trip. The thought of getting up the next day & doing another 15 miles has got me restrategizing my training. But it will happen.
