Samantha was excited to go on a hiking trip with her friends. She had heard that the trail was challenging but rewarding, with breathtaking views at the summit. As they began the ascent, Samantha took a deep breath and stretched her muscles. She knew it was going to be a tough climb.

The trail was steep and rocky, but Samantha's determination kept her going. As they climbed higher, the air grew thinner, and Samantha began to feel a bit lightheaded. She took small steps and slowed down her pace to catch her breath.

Finally, after a few hours of hiking, they reached the summit. The view was indeed breathtaking, and Samantha felt a sense of accomplishment wash over her.
