I went with Zach and Tanner and had an adventure up on the mountain. We hiked/ran up the mountain to the top. It was a leg burner and really and got the heart rate way up there. Once we had finally made it on top, we ran along the top over to Francis Peak and sat by the golf balls. It was quite the feat to be up there. We talked to a Davis guy that had ran up there and was going down Farmington Canyon. Our plan was to go down Baer Canyon and have Nick pick us up. Little did we know how steep and rugged that canyon is. We had to go really slow down it. We were jogging along and next thing we knew the trail was gone and we were next to the creek/river. After what felt like forever of trying to find the trail and not having any luck in the thick foliage and stuff, we decided to follow the river out. It was so thick that we eventually just decided to walk down the middle of the river. I was angry and even more upset because Tanner was so slow! After a while I came upon a trail and started running with excitement after showing them. It eventually lead us out, just 2 hours longer than we expected it would take us. I was so wiped out and even emotionally tired. It was overall a good experience though and I love the mountains. We really covered about 16 miles though.
