A walk through nature

I can´t believe I did this hike. We hiked up this mountain for almost 2 hours.


Yes this is really me! This was by far the best and scariest part of the hike. I can´t believe myself that I was brave enough to walk out on this rock, which by the way had some serious drop off on all sides. I was unaware of this shot, as you can tell I was focusing on one foot at a time, and trying hard not to look anywhere but ahead. :)When we reached the top we hopped down a hill and were in the middle of a stream. We then walked for nearly another hour up a stream, yes I was actually walking in the stream with buggies and fishies, but the water was so clear I couldn´t resist. I only wish I had been told to bring my swim suit along. Here the stream is very shallow but at times it was knee to waist high and you had to be careful with some of the slippery rocks.

The landscape was breathtaking. It was sad in some areas because about three weeks earlier there was a fire here and many trees were charred. You could smell the forest thick with burned trees. Let me tell you, my legs were a little sore for a couple days after.

Favorite Quote

The road to happiness lies in two simple principles;
find what interests you and that you can do well,
and put your whole soul into it - every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have.
