No exercise

This is as far as i went. It didn’t feel safe to go farther. i was alone. Almost zero odds another human would walk this way in the coming days.

Rain check for next year. Can’t wait.

Goal is to walk along the ridges to Iceberg Mountain (top right).

Imagine a lifestyle more active than traditional exercise.

Got fire?

hiking trail sign
Who’s motivated to hike 4 miles uphill with a 2,400′ elevation gain? Did i mention it is not quite 7:15AM? And it’s cold outside.
  • Granite Park Chalet limits fires (social gathering reasons) unless the temps drop significantly.
  • Have never hiked up this ridge, nor have i heard of others who’ve done it.
  • First time seeing Granite from this vantage point.
  • Ta-da! Made it to the ridge. Super cold and windy.
  • Sunny, yet cold for September 1.
  • No camera filters. No editing. Entire mountain a different color.

Motivation is like a fire, you have to keep adding fuel to it or it will go out.

Momentary confusion

mountains
It took 3 tries to figure out what is obvious when the clouds are high – what is this location. Low clouds mask the obvious.

Confusion is the gateway to learning.

Vibrancy can be annoying

What if your physical vibrancy is as bright as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’s nose and others dislike you for reminding them what’s possible?

Positive physical wake-up calls

Thank goodness for an electric hot pot to boil water.

Physical wake-up calls are generally seen as unexpectedly bad news. What if our body saw them as unexpectedly good news?
