Elephant Hill Hike👣, Aberdare National Park🏞, Naivasha, Kenya

I've eagerly been awaiting my next challenge so on this day I decided to take on the mighty Elephant Hill🐘in Kenya's Aberdare National Park🏞which at it's peak tops out at just under 3700m.a.s.l🔝⛰️.Last time I was at altitudes this high (3000-5000m.a.s.l.) it didn't end up well for me🤒but I've since been preparing mentally🧘& physically💪for another chance to redeem myself & regain my confidence again👍. This hike👣is rated extremely tough by many (who do it to prepare for Mount Kenya & Kilimanjaro) as you start at an elevation of 2500m.a.s.l.↕️ and traverse through rugged terrain that will really test your abilities mentally & physically. I managed to reach the 3500m.a.s.l.↕️ point of interest known as "The Elephants Tail" but due to time🕓& the weather conditions☁️we couldn't proceed to the summit⛰️, which would've taken us another 2km and 1hr to reach. I was a bit disappointed not being able to finish the hike having come this far😔, but was still super proud of myself for pushing my limits as breathing at this altitude was difficult from the 3000m level (though it was more the super steep↗️terrain I was feeling and us rushing to cover ground). I was able to use my smart watch⌚️to constantly monitor my SpO2🩸& heart rate❤levels to make sure that I was still medically fit to keep going🚶and my vitals were reading good✅️throughout the entire hike👌. Looking forward to conquering this mountain⛰️ (and others) in future👊.
