I’m a part of the Amazing Race!!!!! Ok, so not exactly the Amazing Race you’re probably thinking of. Our local hospital is conducting an Amazing Race to promote exercise during the summer. Here’s how it works….
Six hikes are planned out during a 12 week period. Each team has two weeks to complete each hike. But it’s not just about the hikes! Each hike actually has a clue which will help solve a riddle at the completion of all the hikes. The first team to submit the riddle will receive a $200 gift card to REI!!
Our first hike was at…
This was supposed to be an easy/moderate difficulty but, our team decided to go up an UP ONLY trail because it appeared to be quicker.

The way back down afforded some time to snap some photos….
Once back at the truck, we decided to drive all the way to the top to the lookout. We definitely live in a beautiful area…
Plus, we encountered a furious squirrel…
Next hike coming soon!!! GO NATURE CHICKS!!!!!!!
What fun! Seeing the pic of those beautiful wild bleeding hearts especially made me a mite homesick, though! Go Nature Chicks!
