SALT LAKE CITY, UT
I was super excited to get out for a BIG hike today - it's been well over a week since I last tested my lungs and legs.
I selected Grandeur Peak East Trail from Church Fork because it is rated difficult. It's an out-and-back with a 2,514' elevation gain in 3.22 miles. The peak is at 8,295 ft.
I made it all the way to the top without stopping. I guess that's what happens when you rest your legs for a week!
The weather was perfect - 60 degrees with clear skies. The hike was perfect - a great climb to work my legs and lungs. It was a great evening!
