Climbing Mt. Healy

Today I set out to climb Mt. Healy, the tallest mountain in the town I live in. It summits at 5660 ft! The hike up is steep and strenuous. I had to stop several times to rest my calves and hamstrings. I walked slowly, but we were making good pace having gone up half the mountain in two hours. Unfortunately, the winds started to whirl around the mountain at speeds that pushed us sideways, so we turned around and head back to the ground. It was still an incredible hike with a wondrous view. Check out pictures of it below!
