As you can tell by the photo, the place I was hiking is called Bald Knob. My hike was only a mile round trip, but it was pretty tough. You pretty much hiked around 400 feet straight up the mountain in half a mile, which is not what I was expecting. I'm in pretty decent shape, but it kicked my butt for sure. The view at the top was amazing. There was a really nice breeze at the top, so I chilled there for a while just admiring the view.
This was my first time using this Camelbak bag as my hiking pack. I've had it for years now, but haven't used it much. It did very well. It was super comfortable throughout the whole hike. It held everything I needed it to with no issues at all. I'll definitely keep using it for hiking in the future. I didn't bring much with me besides some water, a light sweatshirt, snacks, etc. Luckily, where I go to school is a great area for hiking, so you'll definitely see more cool hikes from me in the future. Thanks for looking!
Cool I recently gotten into hiking. Any advice you could give to us newbies.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Hiking is so much fun! I don't have much advice. A big tip is to always be prepared. You never really know what could go wrong out on the trails. Make sure to have more water than you think you might need, a first aid kit, etc. You don't want to have so much that it weighs you down, but enough to keep you covered. Also, good shoes are extremely important.
