Back on top

Today me and Melissa hiked Camelback again and this time I made sure to get picture proof I hiked it too! There were quite a few more people up on the mountain today. Last week I guess we arrived right as they re-opened the mountain. They had closed it because a 21 yr old girl fell off one of the cliffs and they had just got done taking her off the mountain... I guess it's good I heard that AFTER I had hiked or I may have been to scared to go up. You don't really go by any cliffs, she must have gone off the normal trail.
We got up the mountain a little faster this time even though Melissa was feeling a little sluggish. Hopefully we will both be more energetic next time. Great hike though!


This shot is of some crazy rock climbers... see the tiny dot on top?

Camelback

Finally some pics to post! On Friday My roommate Melissa and I went for a hike on Camelback Mountain :) (Thats the Mountain I have in my blog title pic) We started at Echo canyon park which is a big set of stairs. Then there is a railing at the next part due to the fact the rocks at that area are a little slick.


This was the next part of the hike where it starts getting a little more challenging and we still had a ways to go and it was something like this the whole rest of the way.

This is Melissa taking a little break at the top of the mountain. What a view! It was a really fun hike for us and we plan to go a lot more. Though we have quite a few other mountains to hike too. We had gone up South Moutain a few weeks before but I forgot my camera, but don't worry we will go back again. :)
