D and I went on a fantastic hike this weekend. We went up to Mt. Lorne, just south of Whitehorse.
We hiked up to the ridge and camped next to a snow pack (our water source). I'm a prairie girl, so topography is a new thing for me. I've been working on it, and walking up the ramp at the mine has helped a lot. But oh man, did it ever hurt! Like I told D, it wasn't bad (where bad=godawful and I never want to do it again), but it was hard.
Still, once we got up onto the ridge and set up camp, it was spectacular. There was no bugs, nice cool weather, cuddling and cloud watching in the moss, and a bottle of bubbly that D hauled up there. Pretty damn romantic, if you ask me.
It took us about 5-6 hours to hike up, and 2.5 hours to get down again. And honestly, only a hour to walk down the section that took me us over 4 hours to do.
For the last 6 hours, though, I've barely moved off the couch. OOOWWWWW. lol
