My kids are 23, 20, 18. My 18 year old graduates HS in May. For the last 23 years our vacations have for the most part been family vacations and for probably the last 20 never in August or September due to school starting, sports l, or whatever the kids have had going on. Raising 3 kids, getting them through school, college and started in life as really great humans feels like we’ve climbed a mountain. I decided I wanted to mark the moment by hiking an actual mountain, in August or September. My husband has agreed to do it with me. So we’ve got 6ish months to get in better shape to be able to climb a literal mountain. I’m still deciding which one I want to do. I’m leaning towards one in Washington. Anyone done Rainier or any others out there?

That sounds awesome! Let us know what you end up planning! I’m a little late to plan and tbh don’t know how I would get in shape for the kind of hiking I would like to do for our Yellowstone trip coming up in May— I always feel like it will ruin my strength training workouts if I’m then hiking 8 miles on a ‘rest’ day. Do you do any strength training? How are you balancing what you do every week to prepare?
