Molly's Nipple

So yesterday instead of going running, my sister Kaelee and I decided, hey, let's run up Molly's Nipple. I'm sad to say even though I've lived here for 28+ years I've never been to the top. And my sister Melissa "ran" up it last weekend so we decided, why not. I learned a few things from our one hour twelve minute climb to the top and back down: it was definitely not a run, more of a hike/scale the front of the mountain since we couldn't seem to find the trail most of the time; running shoes were a very wrong choice; I'm really not in as good as shape as I thought I was; the view is AMAZING! It was quite the experience, with many slips and falls, but the top was so worth it.


The famous Molly's Nipple.

After climbing the front part of the mountain which was definitely the hardest.

The town of Hurricane with Pine Valley in the background. I love it!


Finally reaching the top!


Sooo beautiful (the view and the girls:)

I must say I agree with all of it, especially the beautiful part! Let's do it again sometime, the right way.

I just commented on Kaelee's how maybe next time I will make the journey after the baby but you guys did good. It was a funny story but you guys help motivate me to not be so lazy.
