After they hiked 12 miles downhill, from Rainy Lake down to the Columbia River, I had a view of what my husband and my stepson will look like when they are 85. Nate did hike an additional 40 miles, before I saw him try to maneuver the stairs in our home, but both of them held tightly to the railing and eased themselves up and down the steps. It seems there is tremendous burning of the thighs and pain in the knees, when one walks downhill for two (or more) days!
