{local love} a peak a week

it all started when i read this article about the 5-peak boulder traverse.  i thought to myself, yes of course! we should do this! and sent it to my friend and hiking buddy extraordinaire, K.  we hike a lot, we're in good shape, et cetera et cetera, so why not?

we found out why not on the day we decided to celebrate K's birthday by hiking to the summit of bear mountain, the second tallest of the five boulder peaks.  granted, we didn't really bring adequate food to fuel a seven-mile five-hour adventure, but regardless, at the end of the day we were pretty well spent.

that didn't stop us though -- if we couldn't do all five in one day, we could certainly do them all in five weeks!  and so #apeakaweek was born.  and it was pretty epic.  spectacular views, fantastic company, lots of sweat and lots of bear poo, a twisted ankle or two... totally worth it!
