Flat Iron – What a challenge!!!

I haven’t hiked FlatIron before and I was really happy I brought a marathon runner friend. First we checked in at the visitor center and got the information we should plan 5-8 hours for the hike. That’s a word… I directly texted my husband he should be prepared to pick up the kids. ????

Then we started. The beginning is easy, a slightly downhill… but then we reached the Siphon Draw and now we had to be highly concentrated to find the way and to step on the right rocks. Step by step, higher and higher… In between it was more climbing than hiking… almost being at the point where you just want to quit we reached the sattle. Finally! From there it’s easy and slightly uphill again until we reached the peak!!! FlatIron, we made it!

And the day after I was soooo sore I’ve never been before. ????
