I went back to the same place I attempted to hike last year when I came within inches of a coiled rattle snack (scurrry) so I didn't finish. Today no snakes to be seen (foggy and rainy) so I actually finished. Steep and difficult at times but I did it ...5 miles in 1:25 not bad for this ole lady with bad knees and to think I could barely walk up the stairs of my own home in 2010 truly blows my mind!!!!

If you are a newbie with bad knees I'm here to tell you anything is possible

Here are a few pics of me at the end of the hike, so happy...also throwing in a before Lord have mercy LOL!

That's so awsome!!! Here in Vancouver, we have something called the grouse grind ( google it sometime!! It's so crazy!!) it's only 2.9km (probably 1.5 miles) of straight up the mountain!! I got addicted to it last summer and did it once a week. I can't wait til the snow goes off the mountain so I can do it again!!!!

Doesn't it make you wanna do it again?? It gives you such a high that food just never came close to!!!
