I walked up WhiteFace Mountain! Well sort of. Here’s what happened…
This past Thursday, August 20th was my birthday. I wanted to have fun that day with my family, but I didn’t know what I wanted to do. My husband told me to leave the ideas to him, so I did. The night before my birthday he gave me two choices. We could got WhiteFace Mountain or we could go to West Point and go to their museum. I liked both ideas, but I chose WhiteFace Mountain.
So we drove to WhiteFace Mountain on the after noon of my birthday. The closer we got to it the more beautiful this mountain looked. As we drove to the mountain we decided we would take the elevator up and down. Good plan, right? It would have been except when we purchased our tickets we found out the elevator was closed. We then decided to do our best on the trail.
So when we got up to the parking lot we parked our car, walked over to where the trail started and we were amazed. The view from that mountain was beautiful! My family and I started the walk up the trail. It wasn’t easy. Parts of the trail were rocks that you had to climb up. There were steps in certain areas of the trail as you walked up, not many, but they were there. Let me tell you it was windy!
My family and I finally made it to the top and OH what a view it was! We were amazed at what we saw. We also quickly realized that we needed to hold on to our phones tightly or the wind would have knocked it right out of our hands. We managed to get some beautiful pictures of that mountain. We were glad we were able to make it up the entire trail.
We stayed up there for a few minutes and then we decided it was time to walk back down the trial. Going down was a bit easier. Just a bit. I think we did a lot of slipping and sliding along the rocks on our way down. At least that’s what my husband said we did. I had so much fun on that mountain with my family that day, I would like to go back again sometime. It made for a nice birthday!
