The Climb

I started out pondering the thoughts how far do I need to walk?
How big will it be?
Do I have to walk up hill the whole way?
Are there spots to stop and take a break?
This better be worth all this hard work! 
I have traveled 1.5 miles up a steady incline,
In  the white mountains of New Hampshire.
I have come to my destination!
A 75 foot water fall staring at me.
 This hike was was well worth the climb after all.
you could hear the echos of the water as it came crashing down.
You could feel the breeze that the spray gave off.
I could not believe what was before my eyes.
How this natural spring just happened,
In the woods of the white mountains.
