Personal Narrative Essay: Hiking The Disney Trail

567 Words3 Pages

The Climb
I remember thinking oh, this will be easy it is probably not steep at all and will only take a few minutes. Well, I was wrong that’s for sure.
Over the summer my family decided to hike the Disney Trail, we would go all the way up and all the way back down and we thought, well it is probably easy. There were about 10 sights before we got to the final top one, and about every sight we would stop like it was the top. It went on and on and on. We were about half way up and had stopped a bunch, at least 3 people pasted us, and we were out of breath this shows how unfit we are. I tried to get a little ahead to catch my breath, but nooo I couldn’t I had to stay with the family, that is what my dad said.
“Are we there yet,” my brother said with a big breath in between each word.
“No, don’t start that,” my mom cried with a …show more content…

Luckily we have cold and hot water so I was able to take a long shower with hot water and it felt so good to be clean again.
When we finally got to the bottom I was so excited to sit in a car with air conditioning, but then realized that we took my dad’s truck that does not have air so we had all the windows rolled down. I think that know since I have already hiked that trail I would be able to do it without having to stop so many times.
After that I realized to never think ahh… this will be easy or nah I can do this really quick or this isn’t steep I am fine. Because that is the hardest hiking trail I have ever been on. I cannot even imagine running that I could barely walk it. Some people had weights on their feet then again no, no, no that is the last thing I would want to do. I want to do that trail again to see how long it would take me, but I now know next time to bring a bag if I am going to take a water bottle or snack. And bring a snack.
Also I know that I need to get in shape especially if I am going to do that trail

    We went up the hill for a couple of more runs, and just like you already know we got on the chairlift and put on our bindings once we got off.

As we started going down I could feel myself almost standing because of the bar, great I could potentially die if I don 't follow the rules. Instead of just letting myself stand I forced myself in with my elbows in my hips and my hands on the bar pushing me down. When the ride stopped panic arose in my parents voices. “Morgan where are you !”

    But the real test of survival skills and abilities were yet to come. Having already overstayed their allotted amount of time climbing up, they began a hurried descent back down, with base camp, water, food and comfort on the brain. But rushing is definitely not the safe way down the mountain. Thirsty, tired, and with a most likely case of acute altitude sickness (a pathological effect of high altitude on humans, caused by acute exposure to low partial pressure of oxygen at high altitude. It commonly occurs above 8,000 feet).

The course then made its way to a puzzle challenge that brought back good childhood memories. After the puzzle, the course went a short way and then headed down the one hill in the park and up next was a nice and easy maze challenge that required maneuvering a golf ball through a quick maze. A short distance after the maze was the last obstacle on the course, which was a wall with a board at the bottom to traverse across. After the wall was a brief sprint to the finish line and completion of the

I could see blue ponds reflecting the clear sky like a giant mirror, some trees had begun to turn orange, yellow, or red, while other trees still held on to their green. It was a very popular day to hike and we had a spectacle of thirty plus people watching to see what our daring plan was. Three of my friends and I were out of place on this mountain because we did not come up with a dog or even hiking boots on.
