First of all 2,100 STEPS?? Wow! You are awesome! Those trestles would completely freak me out so I an relate to any height anxiety!
Yeah, it was not fun. The trestle that is. Other than that going up wasn't so bad, down was a bit freaky at the top.
But that view! Oh my gosh, totally worth it. I think your Plan B was very worthwhile. (And since I'm not the one with the sore muscles to prove it I suppose I can say that!)
It was a workout that is for sure but it was absolutely worth it!
And after that whole write up about it, I was thinking this one looked like a must do.
I think it is for many!
Ok, well I guess maybe it is for some. I would think that a protected nature preserve like that would be an excellent place to snorkel. Then again, I'm not exactly a snorkeling or marine life expert.
It is...but it has also been damaged over the years, is crowded and there are other lovely places to go that don't have those things. For a first time though I do think it's a wonderful place!
A dollar?!?!?! Ok, so they pay someone to stand around and collect a dollar. And you're turned away for not having said portrait of George Washington on a crumpled up green piece of paper??
Plan B sounds kind of cool. And very intimidating.
Plan B was free!
Sure looks that way. Not sure I'd want to walk up some steep railway with that many people crammed on it.
That part was a bit uncool to be sure.
Ok, I wouldn't mind spending a few hours there either...
It was amazing! Would have been nice to have a full picnic lunch up there.
what's an extra 2 miles? We've been known to do that getting lost on a flat hike
Hope it works this time. Don't forget your dollar!
Or quarters...
Ok, this is going on the list but I'll definitely have to be in better shape than now. The view looked absolutely spectacular. Is the part with nothing underneath big enough to fall through?
Honestly, no, not really. I mean maybe if you tried to fall through some could but I don't think you could. More likely to lose your balance and fall off the side...but not through.
Your AMA AMA dinner looked delicious. It just hurts me to pay that much for an entree.
It does hurt to pay that much for an entree so it had better be worth it!
Holy hike girl and brava! Those are some serious steps. I'm afraid Michael would have had to carry me down. Not that he's had to before.
Somehow I bet he could!
Those views are stunning. Truly. I'm so glad you did this now I'll never have to.
I'm with MEK and not so great on the balance though I think cardio wise I'd be okay. I'm actually very uncoordinated.
Oddly enough I can stay balanced when still, yoga, but not when I'm moving.
I am VERY uncoordinated...as you know I stabbed myself TWICE in a week while doing the dishes. No natural grace or balance at all. Or flexibility for that matter.
Glad Jeff was happy with Plan B. Whenever M's Disney day plans don't turn out as perfect as mine, he accuses me of sabotage.
I was relieved, he was so mad. Man didn't make a single plan, check on anything and it's all my fault. Not really he was mad at himself too but yeah, take it out on me! Drives me nuts. It's pretty much always over directions or something like this, a trail fee or a parking fee.
OK, this is going on our "not gonna do list". Fran counted the steps in New Zealand to the top of something and it was 250ish and she was proud. We are not doing 2100 steps. Besides, neither of us are in good shape! It sounds pretty cool, but I think we'll be doing another lap around the Lazy river!
It is pretty cool but the lazy river is just as cool in it's own way! Very fair to put it on your not going to do list. Not sure I'd do it again!
Kudos to you for being that in shape to be able to do that.
We definitely saw all levels of fitness doing it. People running up and people really taking their time. The height was a bigger issue than the fitness but unfortunately caused me to side step down when going straight would have been much better on my muscles. Oh well, I got down!
