Hiking to Squaw Peak and Climbing Down



Today, I woke up at 7 am to get ready to hike up to Squaw peak with few of my friends. I got to their apartment and we got ready then got up to Rock Canyon trail and started hiking.

It was great until we got on the Squaw peak trail. It was so steep and muddy. That wasn't the worst part. The worst part was about three feet of snow on top of the mountain. We didn't expect to see so much snow up there but it was fairly warm, so we just enjoyed getting sunk into snow every time we walked and get all scratched up around the ankle because snow was pretty hard from melting and freezing which was not the condition for guys with shorts on.

When we finally made it up to the top. We rested for a little bit and started to take pictures.

The most fun part was going down because we saw a trail on the other side of the trail we took. It was farther away and didn't see any trail leading to it from where we were, so we decided to just start going down and try to get to that trail. That was a bad idea (but still fun). We got to some places where we almost slip on the pebbles and roll down the hill. Our own trail was made up of pebbles and rocks. All I could think was...something. I also thought about how I had to work at 4 where I am now. Now you know I didn't die there.


Anyways, it was pretty fun coming down because we got to climb down some rocks and see a deer or some kind of animal bone. Our legs and arms got all scratched up too. Now, I am dead tired and I have no desire to show people that I am all happy and crap. It's not like there's anybody here anyways.
