NSV- I hiked up a mountain

and back yesterday. My boyfriend and I spent 5 hours and went 9.3 miles. Never in my life would I have ever dreamed of doing something like this. It was the most invigorating experience and the coolest thing I have ever done. I can't believe my body was capable of doing it. It was also a very narrow path and lots of climbing up rocks, so I was somewhat terrified of slipping and falling to my death the entire time :P It was well worth it for the breathtaking views, though. Not something you see every day!

I am so proud of myself and feel as though I can do anything


I thought I'd share these because they are gorgeous. Notice in a lot of the pictures, at the far end is the beautiful city of Tucson.














I will definitely be back to Sabino Canyon. And thanks for the help with the pics, Cory!

Maybe I'm being sappy but your post brought me to tears. This is what I want more than anything, to be able to enjoy and experience nature and the world around me. That's so awesome! Keep up the great work

Thank you for posting this..My husband and kids go hiking all spring, summer, and fall. I wouldn't go because I was afraid I couldn't make up! Now that I have quit smoking and started to become more fit, I think I will this year. You are an inspiration.
