On Friday, me and my dad went backpacking to Malan's Peak. It was a lot of fun and I went on some of the hardest hikes in my life. I am super sore now, but it was worth it. I saw a rattlesnake and got stung by stinging nettle. There were lizards all over the place. It was one of the greatest backpacking trips ever, even though it was my first one. I really hope I can go backpacking again!
The whole hike up was so steep. It took a while to get up to the campsite, and we had to take a lot of drinking breaks.
Malan's peak was beautiful and you can see all of Ogden. It is so high up, you can see practically everything!
At the campsite there is a stream that you can play in, wash your hands in, and filter water from. THe water from the stream is about10 times better that tap water!
Our campsite used to be a two story hotel! All that is left from the hotel is a boiler. It was really cool to see something that old, just laying in the middle of nowhere.
The hike back down was long and steep. I got blisters on my feet and my legs are so sore. But I had a great time and want to go backpacking again! -Amina
