A tough hike to Mt. Falcon

A few weeks ago Sara and I went to Mount Falcon with a hiking club. We wanted to hike to the top of Mount Falcon, but that was easier said than done... Most people in the hiking club hikes every week so they were pretty fast. Sara and I haven't really been hiking a lot yet this year so it wasn't easy to keep up with them. We tried to keep the energy up with our camel-bags and granola bars but it was really a tough hike. The hike was 7 miles/11.25 km and there was 2095 Feet elevation gain! So you can probably imagine how steep the trail went up most of the time... When we finally came down again Sara and I were very tired but proud if our accomplishment. We went home and took a nap and the next day we were both pretty sore...

It was a beautiful hike though. I just never get tired of Colorado's beautiful views and mountains.
