Well folks we finally did it! After countless scheduling conflicts and a phobia of reptiles, Shanda and I hiked our outdoorsy butts up Ben Lomond Peak Friday afternoon.
We stopped at Maverick to snag some gas, they were cooking hot dogs up front so we grabbed a giant dog, and with all our hiking gear, took off up the mountain in Shanda's awesome Tacoma laughing at how we are,
"The girliest girls we know."
The hike was amazing! i hadn't hiked Ben Lomond in over 4 years and Shanda had never hiked it. Word to the wise go in September it is GORGEOUS! There are hints of fall everywhere and it's not crazy hot. win win.
When we reached the peak we hung out for about an hour and just enjoyed nature!
Man i love mountains. And i will tell you why:
1. They smell awesome
2. They are peaceful
3. It's one of the places i feel closest to my Heavenly Father
4. when you scale a mountain you just feel hardcore
5. Endorphins!
6. They take all your stress away
mountains are good for the soul!
If you have never hiked Ben Lomond i would suggest you get on that real quick, it's 16 miles of pure bliss!
