go hiking

How I did it: I've been wanting to go to this national park since 2-3 years ago, and finally got the chance I printed lots of detailed maps of how to get to the park, including reverse directions I printed the park trail map, although it wasn't very useful, I suppose it was better than not having it  The trip went smoothly, the drive was a nice, calm 1.5 hrs on a country 'highway', the hike was fantastic, and I was still peppy enough to d… Read how I did it…
