Up To The Mountaintops


I like challenges, but this one was almost too difficult. I had begged Mom to take me on a
completely new adventure for my sixteenth birthday. Now, here we were, just Mom and
me with our guide, Milo, standing on the shore of Lake Arenal in Costa Rica. Towering
above the lake was Volcán Arenal, one of the active volcanoes in the region. I watched as
the volcano spit out lava and coughed up big boulders. Luckily, we were headed in the
other direction.
Milo greeted us in Spanish and helped us mount our horses. Getting on my horse was
difficult, but controlling it was a little easier. We started on our tour. The guidebook said
we'd cross three rivers. As we splashed through a stream, I asked, "Was that the first
river?” “I don't think so, Katie,” Mom said wryly.
Soon enough, we came to the first river. There was no mistaking it. I felt sick to my
stomach when I saw that the far shore was half a football field away! The 4-foot-deep river
flowed over boulders. So much for dry shoes—or jeans. After two more rivers, the trail
got even steeper and muddier.

With each step of the horses' hooves, there were loud squishing and sucking sounds. The
rainforest was magnificent and absolutely beautiful. But I wondered whether my horse
could keep its balance in knee-high mud. What did I know about horses? I imagined my
mare stumbling on rocks hidden beneath the sludge—and us crashing over a cliff and being
swept away by lava.
Three terrifying hours later, we came to a corral. Were we stopping, I wondered. To one
side was a gorgeous view of the lake and volcano, and to the other, a brightly painted
restaurant. “Okay,” I laughed nervously. “That was terrifying, but I'm so glad we did it!”
