The views were amazing, but the vibes and energy were unmatched!!

Thank you to everyone who came to our hike on Square Top Mountain yesterday and showed up with open minds and hearts. Ultimately the weather told us when it was time to turn around and we listened. It was an honor to see everyone pushing themselves and supporting each other!
