That is just super cool, you rocked that mountain! I took up backpacking after wls and I agree with you- after backpacking 11 miles before we hit camp on the Jordan River Trail- northern Michigan and I HIGHLY recommend! I think it is the most accomplished I have ever felt physically! Beautiful picture- that one is worth framing!

SPECTACULAR! I'm so proud of you! You look great and the scenery is beautiful. What a wonderful way to celebrate your weight loss and improved health.

My husband and I are going hiking with our kids in Red Rock Canyon, Nevada next weekend. I hope I do as well as you did.

YAY!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed your first hike (and I'm sure not last) to the Smoky Mountains. It is always a wonderful feeling once you get to to the top of any mountain. Keep on hiking and who know's...maybe our paths will cross on the trail one day.
