Blogger Hikes Yosemite His Way

Blogger was told by a Ranger that great fun could be had by hiking Nevada Falls. Blogger did not bother to look at the map, but at the first major fork of the trail, the way to Nevada Falls was closed due to rockfalls and a whole bunch of other things that some worry wart came up with. Little did I know that the other way also went to Nevada Falls, so like a reasonable human being, I hopped the fence and took the closed route.

Absolutely beautiful scenery. Positively invigorating. There's nothing quite like crawling over ice encrusted snow along the top of a 100 foot cliff as melting ice water plunges off the cliff above completely soaking you. Everyone should try it once, and if you try it a second time, that's good too. It shows you didn't die the first time.

Blogger is extremely sore. The approximately 8 miles covered in 3 hours and 15 minutes was more than his out of shape body is used to.

But not for long.

Blogger has made resolutions. Resolutions regarding physical fitness. Resolutions regarding mental toughness, self discipline and the will to persevere no matter what the odds.

Blogger can hardly wait to go hiking once again.
