Not afraid of the dark

I was surprised by all the hikers already on the trail when we started our hike. This was by first AM hike and I was thankful to be accompanied by a group of friends. One, to hold me accountable to getting up so early and two, for providing encouragement to each other along the way. The hike was effortful, but the reward was reaching the top (and grabbing burgers at The Notch).
