Not sure how many of you know the Reno area but my wife, oldest son, and I just hiked to the top of Peavine mountain from the base. It's only a 6.5 mile hike up but has a 3000' elevation gain. It's no mount Everest or McKinley (did that about 30 years ago) but for a day hike, it was pretty cool.

Keep in mind that my wife went through triple fusion surgery on her back less that a year ago. Hell... She did better than I did.

About 4 herds of deer and a few grouse. We weren't being very stealthy so the animals didn't hang around long.

I used to travel around the country when I wasn’t busy with work. My two favorite memories involved climbing/hiking. In the Tetons my buddy and I hiked to Lake solitude. That was seven miles.

The other was when I backpacked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. I camped for a day then hiked back up. I did both ascent and descent much faster than the average person. I pushed myself.

So, yes there is something about climbing that really sticks with you. But the tired legs the next day are just as memorable.
