I’ll be attempting to hike up Mounts Grays and Torreys tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to the exercise, but I’m also looking forward to the fellowship. Hiking up is slow and has little talking but the downward hike is faster and because you’re gaining oxygen you really are able to feel better and talk more.
This will officially be the highest I’ve ever been while walking on terra firma. I’ll have to see what can be done to go to Mt. Elbert some time in the future since it is several hundred feet taller. I’m planning on bringing some food, water, a camera, a tripod and a change of clothes in case we run into bigfoot. Apparently there will be lots of people there because these are the two easiest mountains and there is just a saddleback between them.
Maybe Mount Whitney when I turn 30 🙂
