The Pemi Loop, also known as the Pemigewasset Loop, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, was more than just a hike. 

Over the course of 4 days, we covered 32 miles (52 kilometers), scaled eight peaks over 4,000 feet (1,200 meter), and climbed about 9,000 feet (2,750 meter) in elevation. 

For seasoned hikers, it might be just another trail, but for me, it was one of the most challenging undertakings in my life. It became both a test of endurance and a celebration of a deep friendship.
