Reflection Canyon
Reflection Canyon was probably the most brutal hike I've done. It was 10 miles each way, which doesn't sound that bad, but it was off-trail, lots of sand, lots of up and down, and there was no guarantee of water, so Matthew Saville and I each carried 7L. Our backpacks weighed 58 lbs each at the start of the trip. Despite doing multiple training hikes, we barely made it.
During the night, I tried to roll over and my hips were so sore that I literally yelled out in pain.
Good times. I may do it again this spring.
