This is a hike I do often but today was one of the biggest challenges ever for me. I'm out of shape and the weather was VERY HOT.
I have to work hard if I'm going to do Mount Whitney but this was too much. It's hard for me to be motivated or do anything at all when it is this hot. When I drove into the parking lot there were only a few cars there which is very unusual. That was a clue.
Did I give up? Would this be the first hike that I've ever quit on because my body couldn't make it?
