Sheesh! I am out of breath just watching you and seeing the hill behind you :-) I don't have a Winky for support but my winkey,dinky lil pinky is pointing to that hill and saying CLIMB GIRL CLIMB!!!! PHEW! That was good excersise just typing it out haha

I think I have been hiking twice I know it is good excersise but it is not for me. You can climb for both of us you go girl. I put my year and half year old daughter in a stroller and just walk.  It is good bonding for me and my girl 

i wish i had the chance to go for a hike, but with temp. in the 100s and with snakes and everything else i don't get the opportunity to go. I know my dog would absolutely love it though and i really love to go.

Behind my parents house there are waterfalls and i used to love hiking  to them in the summer and going under them to cool off and when i was younger i remember going for an all day hike from 6am until late in the afternoon it was a ton of fun and a great workout!

My favorite part is finding ways to make it harder. like if there is different trails i take the hardest one. if there is no trails i try to find the most uphill, most difficult way to say the top of a mountain or something. So i can get the most out of the hike.

If you're in CA and like hiking, you should get the booklet, Afoot and Feild in San Diego County. 

Bring water and lemons with you.
