So here is my schedule from Monday.
2:00am Wake up
2:30am Breakfast
2:45am Leave for Sunrise of Twin Sisters
3:10am Started the ascent up to the top of Twin Sisters
5:10am Arrived at the top of Twin Sisters and waited for the sun to rise
5:30am The sun rose and I was able to witness a glorious viewing of God's creation
8:00am Arrived back at the vans and headed back to camp for some more breakfast (baked oatmeal and strawberries)
At breakfast I decided to go on yet another hike. It was probably not the wisest decision considering that Twins was 7.4 miles. I decided to go hike Sandy beach which was a total of 9 miles. Its name stays true to its site. Once you arrive to the "sandy beach" it is gorgeous. My buddy Jess was on the hike and was steadily encouraging me considering I had been up since 2am and already hiked 7.4 miles. I had to drink plenty of water and stay energized by eating bars and fruit. The hike was great because I was able to spend time with Jess because he is leaving today for a week to go backpacking with the Beyond Timberline director. They will be in the continental divide eating cheese and crackers and rations for a week. Today I am finding myself very sore. My decisions were very worthwhile considering some shots that I was able to capture. I took 411 photos alone on the sunrise hike. I hope you guys are able to experience to at least some degree what I was yesterday. Hope you all have a great week!!!
