My family thinks I don't like hiking. It isn't that I don't like it but sweating like a dog and gasping for air has never been much of a thrill for me. I absolutely love long stretches of trail that wind through canyons (Calf Creek Falls, The Narrows, etc.) but actually have very little elevation change (unless it is going down). So I must have been crazy when I offered to carry my cousin's son on our annual family reunion hike. Surprisingly, my hiking abilities have increased. My stamina and endurance are so much better than when I was younger. The hike was great and Gavin even fell asleep. I like hiking. Hopefully I can find more hikes like this one.
