Climb Every Mountain!!!

We just got back from our hike...here's a few pictures to share. We went with some friends in our ward and had a blast. We HAVE to do this hike together as a family. It was so beautiful and the hike wasn't too hard except for the heavy packs. It was one of the most scenic spots I've seen. It was fun to truly "rough it." There was a stream/river the entire hike which was very refreshing and fun. We saw a rattlesnake about 25 minutes on the trail, coiled and ready. We were able to see mountain goats, lizards, skunk (deceased), red vermillions, squirrels, and lots of bugs. It was so peaceful and nice to get out of the busyness of everyday life. The kids had a great time staying at grandma's house...thanks again mom and dad! Morgan asked me today if they could go back and stay but this time for 100,000 years. (everything these days is in that quantity for her...it make for a huge bowl of cheerios!)
I did fall once coming in...OUCH!
At the trail head...note the size of Blake's backpack compared! He's such a tough guy! =)

AARRGH...crikey!

"Just around the river bend"
Blake the boy scout! It was fun to be together on this one...usually I just get to hear about these adventures...it was fun to see Blake in his element!

the happy hikers
