February 8, 2011 Hiking Camelback Mountain

With all the hiking that Kev and I do, today was the first time we ever hiked Echo Canyon trail at Camelback Mountain. Kev says it's also the last time we will be hiking Echo Canyon trail...LOL!!













It starts out with all these railroad tie steps. They seem to go on forever, and then you get to the part where it is all rocks. So now you are rock climbing the rest of the way up. This is not a nice little hiking trail, it's rock climbing. Kev kept saying, "this is not what I thought it would be."













We had to stop and rest a couple of times. (self timer photo!!)













These guys wanted nothing to do with the rock climbing so they took off right up the face of the mountain.

























But we made it to the top!!!













There's these two sections where they have railings to hold onto cause the trail is steep and the rocks are pretty slick. I was going down real slow, and this girl just came running by me....Kev called her a showoff!!













Kev did fall on the way down and scrapped his leg pretty good on a rock. He kept crying about it so I had to take a picture of it.

  2. Yeah, I would have complained the whole way through! Good job to the both of you for making it all the way! Looked rough but definitely beautiful! =)

As of January 2009, I no longer have a job. It's not that I lost it, but after 26 1/2 years of working at the Post Office, I retired. According to everyone I know, I don't do anything all day, so I decided to start a blog. Now I can blog about what I don't do all day. I am married to Kevin, who is the most awesome husband I could ever have. It's because of him, that I do not go to work any more. I love that and I love him for that. Between the 2 of us we have 4 children. Hunter 31, Heather 29, Paul 28 and Alicia 26.
