The last 4 days have been life changing to say the least, and filled with lots of first time experiences. One of those experiences involves climbing and summiting the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States, and sits at a whooping 14,500 feet in elevation.

Not only did we climb this mountain and get to enjoy this very sunset you are looking at. We also decided to spend the night on top of the mountain in a stone hut that was built in 1909, better known as “The Smithsonian Institution Center”.

From here, we have pushed through the Sequoia National Park, started King’s Canyon, and made our way through Forester Pass (more on that adventure in the next post). We also have managed to reach the 780 mile mark, along the way. The mountains have changed me, and I couldn’t be happier as a result of it.
