When Sonnet Baker showed up at the bottom of Mount Kilimanjaro ready to hike up the mountain barefoot, her guides had doubts.
"They didn't think I was going to be able to do it, and they were not really welcoming it," said Baker, of Boulder.
When she booked the trip to the 19,336-foot mountain -- Africa's highest peak -- last year, she checked with her travel agent, Robin Paschall, owner of Boulder's Adventures Within Reach, to make sure she'd be able to attempt the mountain barefoot.
Paschall said sure, even though no one had ever made a request like that before. When asked whether the guides would've thought it crazy to try to climb Kili barefoot, Paschall said, "I think they think just about everyone climbing the mountain is quite crazy."
But Baker didn't think it was crazy.
"Longs Peak is a hell of a lot harder than Kilimanjaro, so I knew I could do it," she said.
Baker's barefoot ascent was a bit loftier than most, but local barefooters say that hiking without shoes is growing in popularity on the heels of the barefoot running boom.
