A Very Long Hike!

Saturday Nic did not work so we decided to go on this hike up Rock Canyon. Once you've hiked to the end of the Rock Canyon trail it splits off into 2 different trails, Hidden and Squaw Peak. We have hiked up a small portion of the Squaw Peak trail but did not have time to do the entire hike so we really were looking forward to finally completing this hike. I must say that it was not an easy hike. It was extremely steap at times, very narrow, and very long. I think what made it seem so long was that we had no idea how long it actually was so we were always anticipating the end. But we could not give up after we ran into an 81 year old man who was making his way down from the hike...if he could do it we knew we could do it!


Pointing to our destination!


Almost there...



We made it...what an amazing view on both sides!


Wishing we could magically appear at our car at the bottom of the mountain:)

How fun!!! I would have DIED considering my current state but otherwise, I truely want to go on a long hike so bad! LOVE the wishing pic and I'm glad that Nic has his shirt off. It's nice to know my husband isn't the only one who doesn't put his shirt back on to take pics. haha. Want to try meeting for a run Friday morning? Like I said, I have to stop and walk--I'm not the best running partner now but if your up for an easy run day, I'm your girl! :)
