A year ago this hike would have killed me. Like literally killed me. But Tuesday I hiked 5.4 miles up and back down Mt. Pilchuck! I loved it. We went early on a weekday so there was only one other couple on the trail. Like leaving my house before 6am early. I went with two amazing inspiring friends.
View on the way up.
at the lookout. Had an Eric's Sport shot before the hike.
And a Sport Ade at the top.
It felt great although my legs were shaking all the way down. Hiking is a whole 'nother kind of workout. All those tiny stability kind of muscles hard at work. But what a payout! At least you get this amazing glorious view at the top and such a feeling of accomplishment after. I climbed a mountain kind of accomplishment - fantastic!! Who knows - next year Mt. Rainier?!
