My group running/bootcamp, #stayactivegirls, decided to take on the Six Peak Challenge this year. We have hiked Mount Wilson and Baldy before but not on a challenge. So CUCAMONGA WAS OUR FIRST PEAK THIS YEAR!!
My girls and I started at 6am. It was already hot but the trail was beautiful and the weather was great for a hike!!
This was the first time our group hiked CUCAMONGA so we didn't know what to expect!!
I had just come back from vacationing at Lake Tahoe, so I was full of energy and I had my girls going really fast and shooting up that mountain like it was nothing! But then, of course, we felt the incline!! Ahhh!! We had so slow down, huffing and puffing and our hearts were pounding so hard!! ?
And we started to compare! This one is harder than Baldy! No Baldy it's harder than this one! It's funny how all the hikes are hard but on their own way!!
But when you have 12 ladies arguing about the same thing, it's a sign that we were delirious at that moment and we definitely needed a break!??
The trail definitely worked our legs from all the little steps and rocks you had to climbed over. Very rocky but worth the hike!!
So we headed up, taking our time this time! We all did great to the top, except one ladies wasn't feeling good due to the altitude. This always happens to her. So we had to stop and wait for her until she started to feel good.
There was a tree trunk almost to the top where everyone sits down and you can see the very top but for some reason that's the place where everyone stops to rest before reaching the end!
AND ONCE YOU REACHED THE TOP IS BREATH TAKING! SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VIEW!!
CITY VIEW! NOT JUST MOUNTAIN VIEW!!
IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH THE HIKE!!
We sat down, refueled, took lots of “selfies” and I means lots!! AND LOTS MORE!!?
AND HEADED DOWN!!
Downhill, everyone it's on their own!! I still had so much energy in me so I headed down fast!!
And everywhere where it was safe to run, I started to run!! It felt so great to release all the energy I had stored in me. I WAS GOING SO FAST I STARTED TO SCREAM!! It was so beautiful and being there you feel free of all of your worries! IT'S ANOTHER WORLD ONCE YOU'RE OUT THERE!!
I know! I know!! Nature it's supposed to be quiet and peaceful, and not having a crazy lady running down the mountain and SCREAMING “WOO HOO” I LOVE THIS! LET'S GO GIRLS” “AHHH”!!???
Overall, the hike was awesome and we would do it again!! It took us 7 hours from when we started, with the breaks in between, all the way to the top, and the refueled and selfies and all the way to back to the bottom!! Ahhh…! And we stopped to play in the river on the way back too!! ????
