I love love love hiking up mountains (born and raised in BC... but moved to flat Alberta... but I am close to some mountains so I plan to go explore when the snow melts some more... let's just say I plan to move back to BC in a couple of years... I need my mountains again).
Hiking helped me lose weight/gain muscle when I was at it before. Such a good work out. Enjoy
PS: Love your green hair too

I'm jealous! I've never climbed a mountain before. There aren't any around here to climb! My favorite mountain is Pilot Mountain in NC for nostalgic reasons, but apparently you can't climb it due to erosion or that would be my next vacation.
Awesome NSV! That's got to bring an amazing sense of accomplishment.

Wow! What a beautiful view and what an accomplishment! I recently went on a "walking vacation" with a friend and about 2/3rds of the walk was in the mountains!! I definitely didn't realize this before I set out but now am so glad I did it because it was such a sense of accomplishment to look back and say I did that!!
Congratulations on getting to enjoy the view!!
