friend Isabella M. asked if I would go hiking with her family on Hise MTN., I obviously said yes, it would be my first time hiking. I packed a backpack and begun the walk to her house. We hopped into a car and began the drive to the mountain. I sat down and looked around another little girl and my two friend’s dads had joined us too, the girl’s name was Raegan. I looked up, that mountain was ‘as steep as a cliff’. It was going to be tiring and I imagined hiking down wouldn’t be the easiest.…

even when he couldn’t. The PCT hikers, her friends, made her feel like she could not quit, as if they depended on her. This helped her lessen her burden by making her keep going and on the way bettering herself. Cheryl even states at one point that hiking the PCT was the most challenging thing she had ever done. Before the trail she thought her mother dying, her self destruction, her divorce, everything, was the hardest thing she’d done, but now she knew. Being hard in different ways, the trail…

direction. The sky has two moods either happy: blue with cotton ball clouds or angry: a stormy scary black color. The air smells like sage and pine -- fresh and crisp. July, 2015, along with 11 close friends, 2 counselors, and a trip leader I went hiking in the backcountry of Wyoming on a 6 day backpacking trip.

“The moment my legs begin to move my thoughts begin to flow,” Henry David Thoreau. As days get shorter, hikes get longer on the Jessie Gerard Trail. Over a hundred trips to the summit and the view only gets better. When talking about hiking it is common to ask what is your favorite trail. This is mine. With a scenic view over the farmington river while also looking west for miles, this is a trail that will always have a spot in my heart. Everyday we climb to unreachable heights. When you start…

If you don’t communicate these vital pieces of information to others before your trip, you may end up facing the consequences. If a hiker tells a friend when they are expected to return, the friend knows when to start looking…
