11I: Out of Shape

This past Tuesday, a few of my friends accompanied me on a hike up West Rock!

On my first day of orientation at Southern over the summer, I attended an informational meeting regarding all of the different ways that SCSU students can stay in shape. I learned about the Fitness Center, various classes, and sports teams, but one thing that stuck out in my mind was hiking up West or East Rock. I had been wanting to do this for a while, and in conversation earlier this week, my friend Amanda informed me that she has hiked West Rock in the past and knows the area fairly well.
 
We then became inspired by the idea and headed to the mountain. Most of the trees have lost their leaves at this point, so it was very open. You could see far ahead of you on the path. I would have liked to see the trail with beautiful, fall colored leaves, so I wish we had thought of this idea sooner. However, it was still a pretty scenic trip. The hike turned out to be very fun despite the cold and how out of shape I am. I will definitely go again some day!
