For Jenna, the first mountain hike of the season was always like a rebirth. Hiking in the awakening forest on a trail beside a rushing stream brought her senses alive. The pristine, crisp air and subtle aroma of new plants pushing from the soil washed over her like a cleansing bath. She was ready for new adventures and making lifelong memories.
She relished the thunder of the snow-melt silver waterfalls. Craggy overlooks displayed the palette of the valley wrapped in a mountain range frame. Before noon, Jenna reached her destination at the edge of a shallow, ice-blue alpine lake. The warm sun shimmered on the clear water. She found a secluded spot to spread out, eat lunch and read while enjoying the solitude and the tranquil vista.
Jenna snacked and then dozed. She was awakened by the chatty arrival of a group of hikers. She propped herself on her elbow, comfortable on the carpet of soft pine needles. Three girls dropped their day packs in an open area on the other side of the inlet. Jenna watched them through the veil of bushes with Spring fresh leaves. They were young and athletic. The blond was tall and willowy. The African-American was curvaceous with close cropped hair. The redhead was short and solid with large breasts. Each removed their hiking boots to rest their feet.
The new arrivals didn't appear winded from the climb. They were all smiles and voluble. Their obvious exhilaration from the wilderness adventure and the ideal weather was contagious. Jenna felt an uplifting buzz from secretly sharing their sisterhood. Certain they couldn't see her, she laid back in the sun and watched their show like a private screening. She enjoy their youthful vigor and energy for a few minutes. Then, she opened her book and left them to savor their trail lunch and wine.
When they finish eating, the redhead suggested a cooling swim. There was reluctance about the chill water, and a little give-and-take about the merits and risks of skinny dipping. They exchanged playful taunts and teases. The matter was decided when Red announced, "I'm going in." She settled the skinny dipping discussion with a compromise. She reached inside her hiking t-shirt and removed her white bra. Then Red unbuttoned her cargo hiking shorts and shimmied free. The motion caused her freed breasts to bounce attractively. She was wearing beige, cotton brief panties. Wading in, she gave shiver, but turned and dared her friends to join her, "Come on, cowards. It's refreshing."
Looking around furtively, the others whisper to each other, gave a WTF shrug and start to disrobe. Inside her button front top, a pale green bra covered the blonde's modest breasts. She removed it from her perky mammaries and partially re-buttoned her shirt. Her denim cut-offs fell to the ground revealing a skimpy black bikini. A camel toe clung erotically to the cleft of her shaved vagina.
