Up the mountain!

Mom and Jessie my sister and Heather and I decided to go climb the Manitou Springs Incline yesterday. It was something we had never done before. When we got closer to it, I could see how high it was, and I quietly wondered if I really wanted to do it. Heather made it up the small trail to the beginning and then got sick due to lack of physical exercise aka "altitude sickness". So she went back to car and we continued to climb. With a forty minute hike down the four mile trail were hobbled back to the car. Almost three hours later and with many rest stops in between we were triumphant!

Mom and Jess didn't mind stopping for pictures, it let them catch their breath.

Only half way!

Its a long way down, we started where you see the trail at the very bottom.

Finally one hour and fifty minutes later. The view was amazing.
