Let's Climb A Mountain!

So this past spring I went to California with my Field Ecology class. Of course, it had to be educational, so we collected data for our semester projects while we were there, but I personally think that the only reason we go is because our teacher loves to go there so much.

While in CA, we climbed both Mist and Vernal Falls one day and then we climbed Yosemite the next day. Now, I'm not much of a hiker. First off, I'm not what you would call "light on my feet," so that was a major problem going down the mountain (especially with feet of snow to slosh through). And, I hate rocks, which unfortunately, made up most of the journey. However, as I look back on it now, I wouldn't mind doing it again. It's absolutely beautiful up in the mountains and the views and waterfalls were just incredible.

Maybe, if I get the courage or ambition, I'll hike some other mountains. Who knows?
