A Week at Desert Cliffs: Day 6

Today was exciting! We had delicious whole wheat pancakes with strawberry sauce and fresh fruit. We woke up early and did a second Tower Run. I was able to keep a fast walking pace all the way to the top. Tower Run has beautiful views, especially in the morning. Although it is tough, you can burn about 250 calories. Then we went to the gym and did a circuit, done previously before. I love working out my arms mostly because I have almost no muscle. After the circuit we went back to the house and prepared for a long hike. Today we went to Snow Canyon, is very large with many different peaks and paths. We started at another sandstone climb. It was fast and got us going. We then traveled what felt like a few miles, through a sandy path. We sat down to eat and had some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, vegetables and watermelon. We started again and went through many different peaks. Red White and Blue, lava trail, Butterfly Rock, and Piano Rock are a few of the hikes we endured. It was great to do so many up and down hikes and see such a large landscape. I burned about 1800 calories in the climbing. We went back and had the rest of the afternoon to relax. We ate turkey burgers and a spinich salad. It was delicious. The burger was on two flat breads. For dessert we had chocolate pudding! Today was great and I love how much energy I am getting out of exercising.
