Do you like elevation gain?

[Shawn]

I have to admit, I like hilly hikes.

It makes my heart beat fast, my breathing gets labored, and I end the hike worn out.

But... I love every bit of it.

Am I crazy or do any of you agree?

I don’t hike for the elevation gain but for the destination. But, yes elevation is fun. I prefer elevation gain over descent anytime.

I find it safer to go up than down for the most part.

I like hills, most of the best hikes have them!

Usually, if you want to see the good stuff, you're going to have to go on hillier trails - that's for sure!
