Camelback Mountain Hike

During the week of October 19th-25th, we had a teaching intern from the University of Northern Iowa staying with us and interning in my classroom everyday. It is a special program the University does that allows students to clock intern hours while also experiencing a week in the life of a teacher. My intern, Rachel, had never been to the southwest so Jeff and I decided to take her hiking on her 2nd night in town. I don't know that she was expecting the rapid incline of the hike or the unexpected climb down in the dark but she was a good sport about it and it was an enjoyable week having her visit.


About 20 minutes into the hike.
