The most beautiful place to go hiking during the summer is Hanging Lake. The sun was so intense that I could feel its rays burning my face. I lifted my eyes and saw the path of rocks. Small and large rocks all together making a dangerous and exhausting journey. Situated between majestic mountains and a clear river on your right. Nature accompanied me the whole time, and trees became my best friends. I was the first to climb; behind me was Gethzemani I could see the concern on my sister’s face doubting about her ability to reach to the top.
For ten minutes I was ahead of her, but then the trail became steeper and my legs started to walk slower. Everything was quiet up there.

While walking uphill I sat on a wood bench everything was so tranquil, and the only thing I could hear was the melodious sound of the river. The feeling of the cool dry air on my skin made the sweat of my forehead to dry quickly; therefor, this pleasant sensation makes me go ahead, and reach to the top of the mountain.

The lake was not very far, but after walking for 1 hour it seems like I was never going to reach to the top.
I walked two miles during one hour. Climbing huge rocks, crossing bridges, and hydrating my body with fresh cold water. I took several breaks, but finally saw the weathered and tired sign pointing to the right that said “Hanging Lake”. I saw my sister sitting on a bench waiting for me, and her face looked like a ripped tomato. I walked on a wooden floor with my head tired looking down, but when I heard the water falling from a waterfall, and smell this fishy smell from the water I raised my head and there was a glorious paradise.
The lake was surrounded by a huge wall of rock and protected by green
