West Wing - Peoria - 5/27/2011







Length: 2.6 miles

Duration:1 hours 29 minutes

Vertical Up:1512 feet

West Wing Hike at EveryTrail









It’s starting to heat up!







Today was the first hike I have had since I started seriously on the treadmill. What a difference. I was still huffing and puffing, but, I really enjoyed myself.

Today’s hike was a short hike with a group of people from meetup (). I was pleasantly surprised that they were all my ability. The hike was 2 ½ miles with a modest vertical gain.

Not much to say about the hike. Some great views from up top. Didn’t see any snakes, which is good.



The best part of the hike was that I jogged the last ¼ mile of the hike …. Downhill…. Loose rocks ….. and survived!
