Hiking at Latta Plantation

April 10, 2016:

In preparation for the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park hike, this is the first extensive hike I did. I used Runkeeper to track my progress.

I hiked about 14.08 miles in 4 hours and 31 minutes.

This hike taught me a lot on items I should carry, I would need. My style of hiking and such.

I started about 7am in the morning, keeping in mind when the gates are opened.

After parking the car, started off on my left side of the trail. This is the trail, I mostly run o. Hill trail to shady trail. What got me, was I kept deviating from the map to explore other sceneries.

When you are running, you are brushing through the landscape, and it is hard to take in the beauty of a place. But hiking certainly opens up all of the senses.

The last leg of the hike certainly kicked my butt quite a bit. I didn’t expect Cove trail to be such rocky. Pretty much the whole trail is rocky and there’s also a sign warns on that.

Things I learned on this hike:

1.       I like to have a headphone on during the hike but not listen to anything

2.       I like wrapping a hotel around my neck

3.       I have a bad habit of not taking break, practically at all.
