You know, people arent' kidding when they say there is an altitude difference! Man! I had done several smaller hikes which were easier before this one.
When we were hiking up, I had to stop several times to breathe because I wasn't used to the altitude. Eric is more used to it being a Colorado native, but me coming from Florida, it was quite difficult! I was extremely proud of myself that I didn't give up. It was hot up there so we sat, relaxed and soaked up some sun. It was a great day!
