Difficulty: Strenuous

So last weekend I went hiking with Joseph, Julie, Peter, and the whole LaRock family. I had lots of fun but had a few problems along the way. For starters I had charley horses in both my calves which was really painful. but after I got through those....I over extended a muscle in my ankle. So walking was very painful for the last part of the trip. But as Julie and Peter kept reminding me, it would be worth it when I got to the top... and boy were they right. It was breathtaking! Pictures don't do these mountains justice... but to give you all an idea what it was like I posted some.
