My first real long and hard hike I went on was was Half Dome. It
was in Yosemite National Park in California. It as about a 7 mile
hike to the top and it is very steep. When we got to the top we
could stand over a two thousand foot sheer cliff. We could also see
all of Yosemite. Although it was very hard it was well worth it.
The first time I went Back packing I went with Dave Ford
and his church. We drove up to Lake Winfield Scot and parked
there. We they hiked up through slaughter gap then climbed Blood
Mt. The next day we hung out on top of Blood Mt. and hiked back down
later that day. This was a great start to backpacking for me because
it wasn't very hard or very long.
The second time I went Back packing was with Chris Hayse.
We parked at Amocolilla Falls in the morning. That day we hiked the
accent trail to Springer Mt. Then we camped at the next gap.
The next day we hiked all the way to Gooch Gap and stayed the night
there. The last day we hiked over blood Mt. and got picked up at
Neels Gap. This was a pretty hard trip because we hiked about 10-15
miles a day. I can't wait till my next trip.
