Spectacular views and wildflowers. <br />This summer on our trip to the baby hills of North Carolina where I go for walks daily, for the first time in my life my knees started to give out on the downhills, and ache afterward. It was a very sobering and frustrating experience. I'm not ready for equipment failure yet!<br />Thanks for sharing with us, and hoping your knees hold out for many years to come.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-18895164281144522482011-08-20T21:07:42.590-07:002011-08-20T21:07:42.590-07:00What a gorgeous day you had!

I wonder when you go on these hikes if there are other hiking groups on the mountains at the same time. The trails seem worn so there must be many groups hiking the same trails. It sounds worth the effort for that panorama.R.

I loved the wild flowers. The view of Shuksan and the flowers is just amazing.<br /><br />I hate coming down off of a steep mountain. In fact, the descent from the first and last 14er I hiked is still a painful memory. It ended my hiking career. It was so steep coming down, I foolishly walked sideways. My knee cap consequently had to be repaired. I thought I might have to crawl down off that mountain.<br /><br />I see you hike with hiking sticks. That is smart!Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-16155238770765943142011-08-19T09:26:33.238-07:002011-08-19T09:26:33.238-07:00These pics remind me of the opening scenes of the ...These pics remind me of the opening scenes of the movie, The Sound of Music, which was filmed in the Alps.
