Photos from Crowder

WOW!! I can't believe it. I wasn't born a hiker or anything, but I did it!! We proabably hiked about 8-10 miles overall, not bad for an unexperienced hiker. My friend Ani, whom I went with, is the experienced one. She just got back from hiking like 60 miles at the Grand Canyon. I have to hand it to her. Thankfully she would stop whenever I needed to. I enjoyed just the quietness of the woods and the breeze.

There were surprisingly lots of peple hiking, but we still found a good spot at the top to sit down and eat our sorely squashed sandwiches. Anyways, we had a lot of fun. I was totally exhausted yesterday and am completely sore today, but it's been a good tired and soreness, especially after accomplishing such a hike.
