September Hike

Today we woke up way too early considering it was saturday and quickly dressed and ate some breakfast and headed to Red Rock to get an early morning hike in.  We were headed to Calico Cove and figured we would try to go as far as we could until we all tired out.  The round trip hike is 2.5 miles and it is considered a "moderate" hike.  The morning started out shaded, which was always a plus, and the air was warm yet still cool in the shade.  This hike is a pretty fun hike with a lot of upward boulder climbing.  It ends at a pond of water, and just beyond that a nice high view.  We didn't expect to make it as far as we did, in fact we did the whole thing!  Summer never once complained, she did mention that her breath was out of air and that her hair was all wet from sweat, and Pepper mentioned wanting to stop and rest more than the rest of us, but overall I was impressed with how well we all did!  Pepper had to be carried over some larger boulder inclines but for the most part she walked the entire way.  It was amazing - and now we are dying!  Hopefully we are recovered by Monday!
