This morning my friend and I went to the mountain for hiking.
It was located in the military post. I had known this area but never hiked before. I was not sure if public people are allowed to go hiking in the mountain. According to my friend, this area is open for everybody to hike. As a matter of fact, I saw some group of hikers here and there. They are all very old people.
Right after I got out from the car, I felt its high elevation. The air was fresh. It tasted great. Just a couple of steps made me hard to breathe.
We walked to the top of the mountain. The trail was much steeper than I thought. On the way down the steep hill, I almost lost my step a couple of times. I concerned about the old people in the hiking group. My friend assured me they should be fine, because they were well-prepared. They was holding a pair of hiker’s sticks on their both hands and wearing a pair of sturdy hiking boots.
I was not well-prepared. I didn’t bring the hiker’s sticks. I was wearing a pair of running shoes which are not suitable for this mountain hiking.
One time when I jumped off from an inclined rock with my injured right foot, I felt a sharp pain in my ankle. I thought my ankle got completely healed, but it was not. I could have re-injured the ankle. I am glad it didn’t go bad. I should be more careful in walking on steep hill.
My friend and I promised we will come back for this steep mountain hiking with a well-prepared condition next time.
