We haven't been having much luck here for hiking. We've had to call off most of our hiking in the past couple of weeks because of overwhelming humidity and thunder storms. We're still pretty reluctant. Kelsey and I think we can finish all of the 4000 footers by the end of the season. But the thing that gets me is how people talk about hiking as if it's only worth it on those rare, pristine, high visibility days. Let me tell you, there are plenty of wonderful, magical things to find.
I'm looking forward to the things we've planned for the hours we can't go hiking. We just invested in a small slackline and I'm looking into getting another crash pad for bouldering. Who knew you didn't have to drive all the way north just to climb some rocks? It's time to get out of the gym and back to nature. And I can't be more thankful for the pioneers before me who were smart and kind enough to start and share something fun like Mountainproject.com. I can boulder right down the street!!
Have you been able to get out and explore your own back yard?
