First Y Hike of the Summer

Brent and I had a wonderful date last Friday and hiked the Y! We left from our house which made the total mileage about 5.8 miles. It took us about 2 hours and it was a lot of fun. 

We left our house around 8 PM and got to the Y at about 9 PM. It was quite the uphill jaunt as you can see from this picture. So, we took it slow and took some breaks. 

Here we are in front our our cute little house getting ready to start!

An awesome shot from halfway up the trail. At about every other switchback once we headed up the trail, we would stop and take a break for a minute or two. I had seriously forgotten has steep some of the switchback are. But even so, it's a perfect little hike. Not too long, not too hard and the views are cool, especially at sunset. 

Just chillin at the top of the Y :)

When we got down, Brent and I were both starving. So even though it was after 10, we stopped at the Little Caesars right by our house and got a $5 pizza. I calculated it later and just from that hike, mapmyrun.com told me that I burned just under 800 calories!! No wonder we were hungry! 

I'll go ahead and check that off the bucket list! :)
