We did really...Thanks for all the wonderful words. We did really enjoy the hike and the scenery and we did see some beautiful views that could not have been seen by either the train ride up or the drive up. We were surprised to see such a cross section of people on the trail from a couple of children about 8 or 9 right up to people in their 60's and 70's. We noticed that a some of the people stayed overnight at the Lakes-of-the-Clouds hut which broke the hike up.<br /><br />We do feel proud of ourselves, the only tougher hike that we have done is to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and we did that one in 2 days. Evelyn by the time we were done Kevin's knee was causing him pain, luckily by the next day it was feeling better.<br /><br />Kevin, Ruth and WhiskeyKevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-33929710884035325492011-07-27T07:07:01.634-04:002011-07-27T07:07:01.634-04:00What a great adventure and workout for the day!What a great adventure and workout for the day!our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-51508177176425003362011-07-26T17:56:36.742-04:002011-07-26T17:56:36.742-04:00Congratulations, what an amazing hike!

We love to hike, but since I tore my ACL two years ago, my knee just doesn't want to cooperate like it used to. I keep hoping over time it will get back to where it was. A hike like that would cause it to swell too much.RV Khronicles of Kevelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612195786405870520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-37495876018809320572011-07-26T12:54:12.385-04:002011-07-26T12:54:12.385-04:00I love the scenery at the top, but I think I would...I love the scenery at the top, but I think I would opt for the train or by car...
