More from my first summer hike.


No I wasn't lost I was just trying to mark a waypoint but the stupid GPS blocking trees wouldn't get out of the way.

A view back towards the valley.

At the turn around point. YAY!


It was dark by the time I made it down.

Finally got out. YAY!





I can't believe summer is already almost over and I just went hiking for the first time. I got home from work and was planning on just sitting on my couch and being lazy all night, but then I saw all my outdoor gear and was like, I'm going hiking! So I hurried up and gathered up my stuff and drove as fast as I could to Rock Canyon. I didn't make it there until 1900 but was still able to hike the whole thing.
