Hiking My First 14er

September 18, 2023

I hiked my first 14,000-foot peak in Colorado this weekend. (Almost double my previous summits.) The air was thin, the sun was shining, my legs were cramping, and… I made it. 🥾 🏔️

Reminder: You can do hard things. Even when you’re unsure. Even when it feels like too much. Even when you think you won’t make it. You are powerful. You are capable. Remember it!
