Best and hardest hike ever

So Thursday I went on a hike with Dr. Litfin. He calls it the secret hike because not many people make it to the top. I woke up extra early with five other students who were up for the challenge. It was well worth it. I loved the small group feel and the hike was amazing. It was very tiring and hard bit well worth every minute of pain. It was straight up hill for an hour and then leveled off for a little bit and then back up hill to reach the hidden lake. There were water falls all around us during the hike. We met a guy taking supplies up to the hotels via horse back. He told my professor not to drink the water right after he had filled his bottle up. We laughed so hard cuz the guy pointed to his bottom and said we would get sick if we drank it. We hiked all day. It was a blast. I hope I can do that hike again some day!
