Hey ! Thanks for stopping by my fitness page . Ultimately I would love to share some work out plans, daily/weekly work outs I enjoy and ways to incorporate fitness into your life! , But today I just wanna share my hiking experience with ya !
I love to hike and I try to squeeze it in when ever possible . It is a great work out and does great things to you booty (; I live in Az so my favorite hikes are wind caves ( Usury Park) , Camelback , Flatiron , and Sqawpeak . There are definitely a lot others but I like to stick to trails I know . Wind caves is a great starting hike, I still love this trail and I like to do it when I want to enjoy some beautiful AZ weather , it is about 3 miles round trip elevation change is 600 feet . I see so many families hiking this trail so it is also a great choice for families with young kids ! I work in Phoenix So Camelback is about 4 miles from my work , It works out great and gives me an opportunity to just jump over there and get in a hike before I head home . The north side of the mountain , which is the trail most people are familiar with is currently closed for some reconstruction issues it is supposed to be done this fall but I haven't seen any indications of it being finished so we all can just continue hiking the south side ! Although 'id love to see the north side finished I do really enjoy the Cholla Trail it is definitely challenging but still a lot of fun ! It is about 4 miles round trip and 1200 feet in elevation . I love to bring my dogs along with me when possible . With the Cholla trail I would suggest you take a friend to help your pooch along the last hundred yards or so are pretty rocky ! okay here are some pictures from today's hike ! not awesome quality since they are just from my Phone but yeah one step at a time right !
The view is so amazing ,This photo does not even come close to doing it justice , You can see so many mountain ranges from the top. and literally all of phoenix ! Sometimes I wish there was a Jumba Juice up there .... but oh well a girl can dream (;
I know. I look pretty awesome after working all day then hiking but not really ... please don't judge haha
So I think having a hiking buddy is super important ! They help motivate you , and plus it is a lot safer to hike with some one then alone ! Sometimes when you are like me and you fall while running down the mountain it is nice to have someone there just in case (: luckily I have learned how to fall nice a gracefully so aside from being embarrassing it really isn't a big deal !
