Your pictures are always so beautiful. <br /><br />I loved the one of everyone with their hiking poles! I used to feel like a wimp because I brought them along, but I no longer do. They help immensely and are well worth keeping close! I love my new ones from REI, as they don't collapse on me. Thanks for the recommendations!Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923693784234135636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-20164899172157118292012-07-28T05:34:38.280-07:002012-07-28T05:34:38.280-07:00Mt.

So, of course, reading this blog made my heart race and my legs itch . . . I want to do this hike too!<br /><br />All kidding aside, I actually have a question on how you handle altitude hiking of 8,500 feet and higher. I'm finding myself starting to shy away from altitude hikes (not elevation hikes in general - I love a good climb!) because of my tendency to get hit with varying degrees of altitude sickness. Do you have a magic potion you take, or do you just ride it out and accept it as one of the costs of hiking?Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248579159497266955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-36472588111851463672012-07-28T04:32:58.587-07:002012-07-28T04:32:58.587-07:00Takes my breath away.
