A sunrisie to remember


When I try to describe the morning of the 5th of July, when my dear friend Joey and I embarked on this adventure, neither she, nor myself could finds words to describe the absolute beauty and splendor of what unfolded before our eyes. We stood, gaping in amazement at the miracle of this sunrise, remarking that the pictures could not do the moment justice but could act as a refresher for our own memories in the years to come of the magic. On a hike that provided little sleep the night before generated by our nerves and anticipation; when the alarms notified us at 2:45am that it was time to prepare for our 4am trail departure, we wondered if the view would be woth it. All I can say is WOW. This quote is the best I can do to explain my experiences of this summer thus far; a summer I will always cherish and wish to relive, over and over again in my mind.

"Once in awhile, you find a place that becomes your very own.
A place undefined.
Waiting for you to bring your own color, your self.
A place untouched, unspoiled, undeveloped.
Raw, honest, haunting.
No one, nothing is telling you how to feel or who to be."
~John Muir
