Hiker-Man.. Who knew??

So, Davy made some goals this year..

Along with his weight loss..

and getting in shape..

{he did all 90 days of P90X}

He has decided to become a hiker..

His first BIG challenge..

{okay, actually the biggest challenge he's taking on}

Climbing to King's Peak..

This occurred July 23 & 24, 2010..

{and for anyone keeping track,

I now know my husband is a crazy man..}

{before I just used to think it..}

Let's have a look-see..

The hike begins..

On the Henry's Fork Trail..

King's Peak is the pointy mountain in the background..

{this is already 2ish hours into the hike}

At this point,

they had to take off their shoes

to go through a muddy bog..

..along the trail..

The first day ^^

they hiked 9 miles..

and set up camp..

They hit the trail at 5:30am..

..^^coming up on Gunsight Pass..

{still 4 hours to summit}

..without getting into gory details

we'll just say Davy's feet took a beating..

..the climb to Anderson Pass..

..still snow on the trail..

..the long climb..

.. through boulder fields..

..to the summit..

..almost there..

..Davy getting to the summit..

..Davy sitting atop KING'S PEAK..

..Davy & his hiking buddies,

Will & Justin..

..up on top..
