Hiking Adventures
My son and I have hiked Mountains in North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. I wear a 25 lb vest 75% of the time. This helps with leg strength and building the muscles we use everyday. 25% of the time the trails are just too hard. I pack extra in the backpack for those adventures.

Camelback Mountain – Arizona
During a visit to Gilbert, Arizona, the locals suggested hiking Camelback Mountain at 5-6 AM. Due to the extreme heat during, September, that time of year. I would suggest following that exact plan.
