The Catwalk







My mom went on a field trip in May with Taylor's class. They went to Glenwood, New Mexico to go to the catwalk. She had never been before, so she got a new experience. They thought it was a really cool place. I went when I was in highschool, but it's been about 5 years. Kade hasn't ever been and so this weekend he asked my mom if they could all go. Trevor and I were invited along, which was great because he's never been either.



The hike is not too bad, but if you are so not in shape like me, it's a little rough. It's mostly uphill, and if you go when we did, you might feel like you are going to die of heat! I think it is about a three mile hike once you go up and back. If you ever go, just remember to take lots of water. We didn't think to take a lot. We thought we could share a few bottles of water, but it wasn't enough. It was so beautiful and I loved it, but I'm not going to lie, nature and I....we aren't friends! By this I just mean, that although this is fun, it's not up my alley. I don't like camping or hiking or whatever. My mom told me on the way up that she really isn't either, so I guess that's where I get it.



After we got back, we had packed lunch so we sat at one of the picnic tables and ate together. It was so fun to be there together. It was so pretty, so worth all the sweat!!! If any of you haven't been you should definetly go. I just recommend you start fairly early, pack a lunch to eat when you get done, take lots of water, and wear a swimsuit underneath so you can play!

we used to go there during the summer as a family, grandpa rothlisberger loved taking us there. I hear all the really "fun" or "scary" catwalks have been closed but it is still a fun place. I keep telling Mark we need to go. Looks like ya'll had a lot of fun too.

Looks like you had fun, I agree it can be a tough walk if you are not in shape and you are probably better off than me!
