There is something magical about hiking to a crater. It's not just the view ,but the sense  of standing on something ancient forged by the raw forces of nature. Recently , Global Fast Fit Egerton chapter embarked on a hike to Menengai crater . Personally, the hike left me in awe of  the earth's natural beauty .

Our journey began minutes to mid-day with a breeze and smell of pine trees filling the air.  As we started the descent , the landscape started to transform and the rocky path started giving way to the volcanic soils blackened by years of eruptions.

After an 1 hour and 46 minutes of descending down a tough terrain, we got inside the crater. Reaching the crater was a rewarding moment . The expansive view was breathtaking: a large bowl surrounded by steep cliffs. Standing there, I felt a deep connection to the earth, a sense  of wonder of the forces that shaped this landscape. It was a humbling experience -a reminder of the raw power beneath our feet and the serenity that comes when we step into nature's untouched spaces.

A hike to Menengai crater was not only about reaching the destination ; it's about embracing the journey, the challenge and the beauty that nature has to offer.
