Туристы, куда путь держите?  

Wow, that’s a seriously large group. Looks like a cool hike. 

So pretty though.  

This group has hikes of all kinds and geared to people of many ages and abilities..this is what I mean when I talk about making exercise a social event with laughter and lots of fun all along the way.. makes the miles click by so much faster. And it is a safer practice 

Look at the calories burned!! 

It reminds me of my hiking days! Looks like a hard hike 

OH THIS looks like so much fun and incredible exercise! Good for you 

Not easy, not for beginners but I have done it many times over the yesrs and it doesn’t get any easier. 

looks beautiful!! I'm SO excited to start taking hiking seriously this year! 😍😍 

now that's my kind of fun 

That's the kind of cardio I like! Good for you!!! 💜👍👍 

What app are you using for the calories? 

This was not my app. This was off of my friend’s piece of technology. I don’t personally use them. I have a freebie on my phone that I use to track the route but that’s all. FS said about 900+ calories for 3 hours of hiking. Close enough for me.  

So pretty 

Your friend got some serious speed at one point! 

Saw this picture and knew it was you!👏👏👏 The Sierra Club, wouldn’t take you along if you had any kind of disability or draw back, they were there to hike! I wonder if they are kinder now? Congratulations on achieving your hike!👍 

Everyone pretty much hiked the same pace— I was hiking right alongside her. This group does lots of hikes of varying degrees of difficulty. If you are newer to the group you may have to get approval from the leader. There are some hikes that have a pace, experience and hiking frequency expectancy. Thanks good by me. The oldest person on this hike at 80, is a real tiger. Most of the group were in that middle age range. It was a training hike for a big camping and hiking trip some are going on iearly summer. 

Shrewdness— it’s not a matter of kindness. Many organizations rate their activities for difficulty so that people don’t sign up for activities they realistically cannot do and there should not be an expectation that others are going to “carry” them. If they want to attempt some of these more difficult hikes they need to diligently practice and improve upon their abilities starting with some of the easier outings. 

Wow !! 

WOW beautiful
