In need of a good workout? I totally recommend the flat iron hike. Such a butt-kicking hike. Memorial weekend we decided to take a hike with some friends. Since it is such a hard hike we left the Nix at home with the grandparents and hit the trailhead at 6:00am. The point we hike to is literally right in the middle of the picture where the mountain is pointing out. The first half of the hike is all cardio and the second half is basically straight up climbing boulders. 6 miles round-trip.
I made it to the wash and wanted to give up. I'm pretty sure I was crawling at this point and it was only the halfway mark. And keep in mind this wasn't my first time, so I knew what I was getting myself into.
woo hoo the top! I couldn't be more happier to have finally made it to the top! Such a good feeling of accomplishment and I'm so glad I stuck through it.
Taking a peek over the edge with Courtney. Eeeek.
I would really like to try and hike this like once a month. Talk about getting into shape!
And I'll leave you with this: I sweat like a man! You can see the outline on my back from my backpack!
