One of the best parts about hiking is the feeling of accomplishment each time you reach a peak. What adds to that accomplishment is when you are hiking in an all girl group. I'm sure there are plenty of people not thinking baout this, but it seems most women I meet are just not genuinely interested in going through the effort of hiking. It's more of a novelty, perhaps. But fortunately, I have met some other women who love to hike! (Duh, it's what I've been doing all summer).
My friend Nichole and I hiked Jackson, Pierce, and Eisenhower. It was very fun on Eisenhower with it's small, bald peak and the wind blowing so hard. We were trying to see how much we could lean into it without falling over. I have a feeling it would have been like that one Michael Jackson video if we had thought to take our packs off. We didn't stay on the peak too long because the puppy really hated the wind. I'm looking forward to going back to that peak. I hope it's just as fun!
