WOW! What a Climb Today!
Today my friend, Joanne and I decided to climb one trail all the way up Blue Mountain in Collingwood. We also decided to hike another one down instead of taking the gondola. I desperately needed the practice for My Camino.
It was tough! The sun, heat, and vertical climb was really good practice.
Here is a view from the top:
Here are views looking up before we climbed:
It was tough but we did it. My legs ached on the way up and my heart was pounding! I took frequent breaks just as I will when I climb the Pyrenees mountains in 3 weeks. Coming down was slower and even more difficult!

It was a Great Hike!
I was very glad to have done this hike today! JUST 3 MORE WEEKS and I am OFF!
KEEP WALKING!
