Descent < Ascent

After checking out Bertha Lake earlier, it was a relief to be heading back home, and back to a relaxing hotel room. But first I needed to trek back and it was going to take about 2.5 hours. People seem to think that the downward part of the hike is easier than the ascent. If you have twenty year old knees than maybe, but this cowboy is a smidgen past twenty and I’d say that I prefer the upward to the downward parts actually! How about you? Which do you prefer? Thanks for stopping by.

    I would think older knees would put a hurting on them going downhill. OUCHY! Gorgeous scenery.

    Downhill always felt easier to me, the climb is where my legs give up first. But those knees after 2.5 hours down from Bertha Lake, I get it.

    Two and a half hours back from Bertha Lake, and you're right — downhill is harder on the knees than uphill. This cowboy is a smidgen past twenty too, ha. Beautiful shots.

    The problem with climbing up is that you need to be extremely fit and an experienced Hiker, and if you're not, you'll gas out pretty easy. I'm in my early 30, and mostly I prefer going down, and you're right, probably that's because I have the knees for it .

    As we get older, descending from mountains or elevated places becomes more challenging because we have to be extra careful with our knees and maintain control of our movements. If we lose our balance or our knees give way, we could easily slip or fall. Going downhill can sometimes be more difficult than climbing up!

    Going uphill or downhill is actually much the same, provided you enjoy the experience and don’t rush. Personally, I prefer going downhill—it’s less physically demanding, though it does require extra caution.

    In my opinion, both going down and going up have their good and bad sides, but when you start, move along the path, and go up, you have a really good feeling and energy.

    I agree! While going downhill might seem easy, it can put significant strain on the knees after a long walk. I feel that going uphill requires more physical effort, whereas going downhill demands greater caution and balance.

  • @helalgrowth2(54)· 9h

    That is such an honest and relatable perspective on hiking. While going down looks deceivingly simple, anyone who has spent time on the trails knows how much it tests your knees.
