I changed my goal to 100 hikes this year, 50 was a little too small!
Distance Hiked: 4.5 Miles
So my second hike for today was this crazy one! The trail still had snow in a lot of areas and was slippery, But this time I had my boots. Which made a world of difference. It was so exciting driving my car up the canyon.
I spent years not having a car, Having to walk or ride my bike all the time was hard and exhausting. And I love this car so much! I couldn't be more grateful for Steemit, For helping me get this car! I think about how much I love it, Whenever I see it :)
Off And On Rain
The rain was crazy in the mountains; Despite the weather saying it was supposed to be "Just" cloudy, It ended up being cold and rainy.
It rained off and on during the hike, Which wasn't too bad. The soft pattering of the rain was relaxing and nice. Luckily because I was getting a good workout, my body stayed nice and warm.
I struggled with some of the mud and ice though. I'm not the most coordinated person; I also can be clumsy. Lol.
So Many Pretty Clouds
It got really thin in some areas!
There were a lot of joggers! Making me feel slow, Because I was walking! But hopefully soon, I'll be running like they are. My legs just not quite used to being used this often again. I'm still building back the muscle that I once had!
Relaxing!
With all the stress of everything, This was such a nice way to relax. It's so nice being able to hike whenever I want! And once the weather gets even better I'll be able to hike 10x more.
Wow. Such a hiking challenge.
This is so sweet. I hope steemit buys me a car too someday and probably build me a house😁
I wish you the best in your hiking challenge.
Be safe...
I hope it does heheh :) It's true!
i like this post i always wish you all the best, I wish people also visit to your blog
The best part is climbing all the way to the top and looking st your view/accomplishment . I love hikes and I try to go to different states for hike paths
Right? I Love going to other places, The landscape is always so different. And That is a reward in it self seeing all the pretty views ehhe.
Hiking outdoors has plenty of perks: nice views, fresh air, and the sounds and smells of nature. Hiking is a powerful cardio it is very good for health
Wow, that’s s lot of hikes. But if I could I would do the same. Nature is the best to relax, have a great time, enjoy the view, all these animals. BTW: do you see bears where you hike?
Right? I actually haven't seen bears yet, But they are up there. lol
Enjoy your life, I hope you will soon reach to your target because you are doing well and quickly Keep it up And i always wish you all the best, I wish people also visit to your blog
Thank you! I will certainly try.
I like how you raised the bar to 100 hikes, 50 would be more than enough for me lol.

The photography is excellent plus Hiking would make you feel even more better. I would say you must be careful while hiking in rain because it may be slippery.
The view is amazing. I can’t wait for spring when everything starts to grow. The hiking will get even better.

Wow...That's best part of your hiking. Very cold weather condition with dark clouds, raining and tough roads indeed. You have great target...Also you've pass successful tasks. You need only some. Think you become nearly your target. Then you forget your tired situation. Its easily helpful for near goal. Outstanding location to travel and jogging.
The air and the scenery is good for you! Enjoy God's country!
It‘s a healthy experience and a cool life.
I am allowed to walk a few miles at work. I am trying and getting on average 3 miles a day now.
wow to do 100 hikes in a year you will need to make something like 1 hike every 3 days or so!
But there is nothing impossible if we have enough discipline.
And it’s amazing you were able to buy a car thanks to steemit! It really proves the power of the blockchain.
Your car is very lovely, steemit is putting smiles on people's faces. It is good to exercise the muscles as you are doing, don't worry soon you will get back to your normal self. Keep steeming hot.
Hope I can also come with You ! I am jealous hahah!!

good post friends
100 hikes in a year?! I can't even do 1 a month :P
So we will say you're doing enough for both of us? Or do you have to make it 150 for that? Hehe ;)
Awesome that you are ambitious and going for 100 hikes! Can't wait to see all the pictures from the hikes.
We've similar paths here in Northern Areas of Pakistan, one of the most beautiful natural places in the world.
It's always great to visit such places.
congrats @kaylinart. lovely pictures thanks for sharing with us this relaxing and healthy experience.
Where did you go this time? You should come to Junction and do some of the trails on the Monument. There's one that takes you back to a waterfall. Im too out of shape for that one. I really need to get off my toosh. Hanging Lake is one of my goals.
wow

how lucky you are
Your love for outdoors at leisure, is truly revealed!
Ride on @kaylinart!
The trail is really well marked. We were nervous at first because I was just in trainers (that actually are prized for how flexible and little material was used to make them) and we heard about how difficult and technical the trail was. The first part was pretty unnerving because it had rained the day before and the steep pitch was all muddy and we had to go down really slowly. After that part we were fine. The rest of the hike was not as steep or as wet. My feet hurt by the end of it but so did my friends and she wore hiking shoes. If you are nervous about this hike- don't be. Yeah there is boulder fields and it can be slippery when descending but just take it slow, I can't see anyone taking it fast unless you have done it before. The boulder field was beautiful. The top climb was a little bit scary if you're afraid of heights which I am. The only thing difficult about this hike is the amount of descending and ascending you have to do. I actually found it easier than High Falls Creek which is labeled as intermediate. I found it easier than High Falls because you actually get a break from just a steep incline, there is a lot of variation in this hike which makes it really exciting. Be cautious, don't go gallivanting down. On the way toward the Valley we ran into another hiker and he seemed wary of my footwear and our ability to succeed. Unfortunately I don't own hiking shoes because I'm poor and hiking is the only free thing I can do. I've only really started to get into it now and one day I will be graced with a nice pair. We ran into no wildlife besides grouse.
wow,,nice place ,,i hope you are enjoyed..all the best,,have a good day sir and your car is so nice car,,i like it
Wow @kaylinart what a commendable goal. And that hike you took looks pretty tough. With all those ailments and slippery looking narrow trails..well glad you came back in one piece :)
