text: My friend and I decided to take up hiking to get back in shape Well we chose this as our introductory hike yesterday and let me tell youI am typing this from bed because I am not sure I will be getting out todaynnThat being said it was difficult but definitely doable Runner up for the hardest part of the hike is the middle third where the switch backs get really steep but near the top it levels off for the last third of the hike to Toms actual thumbnnThe real hardest part though Coming back There is tons of loose gravel the entire way and we saw three people slip right into cactuses cacti We took our sweet time because of bad knees we sound like we are ancient but we are in our s but be warned that it is pretty dangerous slippery and slightly terrifyingnnAll in all a great hike Bring a camera and plenty of water
