It's Tops!

Day 4: Sharp Top Mountain. 1.5 steep and strenuous miles to a 360-degree view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It took us about 4 hours, which would have been pathetic by Colorado standards. But, Sawyer hiked about two-thirds of the way himself over rock outcroppings and steep stairs. It was impressive. Justin bounded up the thing like he was a mountain goat. Scott carried Arden the whole way up and Sawyer the whole way back down. I spent about 15 minutes at the top scoping out all the other places I want to climb. I was just so proud of everybody. Next time, more water, more food, sunscreen and bug spray. I may have slightly underestimated the East Coast mountains.
