I got them because I want to get back into hiking. I love being outside and need something away from home to do. It’s something I can do alone, I’m done waiting on Igor to get his knees fixed, alone time would be really good, and I really like the White Tanks. There are several trails that intersect so the hike is as long or short as I want; they vary in difficulty so I can go easy or get crazy and have to climb rocks and stuff. Once I’m back to hiking for several miles I’ll expand to other trails, there are a bunch of others nearby and some in the high country I’d like to hike.
