Over the weekend we decided to test our limits by climbing the highest elevation in the Caribbean. Going into it we didn’t think it would be that tough of a climb but it was definitely more than we expected. We went through a lot of emotions and stages on the way up but we made it and it was well worth the 11 hour hike. Now that may not seem like a lot to an experienced hiker but keep in mind this is our first real climb.

We woke up bright and early to climb to the peak so that we could catch the sunrise and this is one of the views we got on the way. It really feels, and looks, like you’re on top of the world when you’re up there. With a view like this I wouldn’t mind spending a couple of weeks up there. Maybe next time =).

Make sure to stay tuned for a full report and many many more pictures from our hike to the top of Pico Duarte!
