I learned that no hike is easy. Reaching the summit was tough but going down to Manker Flats proved tougher on my body. It truly put my fitness to the test. Descending with two blisters, weak knees, exhaustion, and aching feet, I wanted to give up because the pain as excruciating but I willed myself down the mountain today. I remember what this couple told me on the way up, “One step at a time!” I did that going to the summit and also coming down the mountain. Helpful words when I just wanted to throw in the towel . Today’s hike was eye opening to say the least, but I did it….because I willed it!
