And what an ending it was...


Sometimes, when good things end, they go out with a bang. Well, I haven't blogged in a long time, but that's because my personal fitness class came to an end. For the end of our class we hiked Mount Robson.

It....was....amazing!!!!!!!!

I kept journals of the entire trip (which I've decided wouldn't be that interesting because their sooooo long) so I will summerize it. Our trip began on June 19, 2009, and ended on June 22, 2009. Mount Robson is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies.

Day One

We pretty much just drove to the base of the mountain to camp for the night.

Day Two

11 Km hiked today

Today it rained, there were lots of up and down hills. Other than the rain, mosquitoes, and uphills, it was fantastic! We all hiked out to a near by waterfall after getting our tents set up and got so close to it that we were sprayed by it. Very cold, but also, very cool!

Day Three

12 Km hiked today, 4 of that are straight uphill
plus 6 Km hiked towards the glacier

Today was very sunny and unexpectedly warm. It was nice. Today was by far the hardest day (hopefully) we hiked uphill in record time, and it was very hard. We went to another waterfall and got right underneath it. It was also amazing. After that my friend and I went to the BC and Alberta border and took pictures. We all went to go see a glacier upclose and even managed to go inside of one and take lots of picture. Sore, smelly and tired today, but all is well.

Day Four

23 Km hiked today

Today was cloudy, but not rainy. I practically ran down the mountain with my friend and we were at the bottom in record time. I'm tired and hungry for some decent food.

So all in all although I was very sad about my personal fitness class ending, I was very happy and confident, that it went out with a bang!
