The Hike

This was the MOST adventurous and active of our journeys. Liz and I plunged into the wild when we took a 5 mile hike around Portuguese Bend/Palos Verdes. It was gorgeous scenery and breathtaking landscape, but the hike also took our breath away--literally. We started our hike at the tip of Crenshaw around 9:30 and hiked all the way down to the beach, where we snacked on a couple of things...then it was time to head back on the trail of death in the blazing hot weather. We finally reached our car at 1pm, pooped! It was definitely a great adventure that helped us work on our figures and let us enjoy the gorgeous California coast.



Final Destination: The bottom of the hill!


Can't you tell? She was pooped!

Yummy peanut butter banana sandwiches, tangerines, water, chewy bars, and powerade!

The hidden Chris and Liz cave that was discovered.



Amazing what erosion can do to land.

All the rocks were rounded and smooth due to the ocean, so pretty!



The gorgeous hike down.




And with that our hike up the mountains and along the coast was over. It's something that you should try out because it's wonderful to be outdoors, and it doesn't hurt when the weather is gorgeous too. We'll have to take a break from hiking for a while because it was crazy, but stay tuned to see where we'll be going or what we'll be doing next!
