My First Hike!

The TriPyramid Range
Distance: 12.1 miles
Est Time: 7.30
Completed in: 4.25

Today, my roommate Tucker and I, started my journey towards conquering the 4000 footers. Let me tell you, this was not the easiest way to start; the mixture of rocks, steeps, and rain never makes it easy. This long hike started with a 4 mile trek on a dirt path to the start of the loop. Once there, we had the option to take the north route or the south route. We chose the north, little did we know how much time and effort it would save us. After a little while in the woods, we reached the rock face. Climbing this wet slippery baldhead rock was very difficult in the rain. Inch by inch we finally made it to the top. Traversing from peak to peak was not very difficult considering how flat it was compared compared to the rock face we just climbed. I was disappointed at the top because there were NO views due to bad weather. Wet and cold, Tucker and I decided to get down the mountain as fast as we could. My legs were trembling as I reached the car. All in all ever though the weather was terrible, the hike was satisfying and I'm glad to be on my way. 46 left!
