Allykat's Tales
I went hiking today in a town about 20 minutes away from me. It was my first time hiking there and it was one hiking adventure I am happy I went on. I went with my brother who had been before, which was very fun.
It was a hour total hike on about a 4 person wide trail up several steep green mountains. It is amazing that they built such a nice trail all the way up these mountains, behind these homes, next to a small lake. I was expecting a very narrow dirt trail filled with brush.
(note: this is not a picture of the top, I did not bring a camera. This pic is from http://www.photorack.net/index.php)The hike was very steep and I walked the whole time. Even though I was only waking slowly, I got a great work out. My heart was pumping hard and I was breathing heavily. However, the hike was really fun, because it did not feel like I was exercising. And the view of the whole valley and town with the snow tipped mountains was definitely worth the hike.
Being out in God’s outdoors, taking care of yourself, and strengthening your relationship with a friend or relative all in one hike is amazing too.
My brother spontaneously asked me if I wanted to get up early and go on this hike the night before. You never know what little adventure you could find in your own backyard or surrounding towns. Do not wait or plan too much, just go! Yes, I did follow a trail today, but it was an exciting twist on my trail in life. Look for that extra twist that adds variety to your life.
