Today is the day...the first day of the 52 Week Challenge I joined. You must be thinking what is this challenge?, well it’s kinda simple.

52 Week Challenge is a global movement empowering you to take a personal journey to discover the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual gained through hiking once a week for an entire year.

So today I drove off to find my first trail to hike. I drove with the goal of hiking Fonts Point Trail in Anza Borrego. I quickly found out that the trail was not going to be easy to access after the rain Southern California has received recently. I went to AllTrails and searched for another trail (luckily I had minimal 4G reception), a short drive later I started a trail called The Slot. As you can see from the pictures it was a place like I had never been before. The canyon closed in and I had to snake through the canyon caved out by water and well I would imagine wind too cause it was really windy. I finished the trail and felt a sense of accomplishment and joy to be out in the middle of the desert.
