Family hike in the mountains

Originally the plan was to take a camping trip to Yellowstone when the kids had some days off of school in September. Plans were quickly axed when we learned the temperatures normally dip below freezing at night (we had planned on tenting it) and there were no cabins available. Then the plan was to just go camping here locally. Then we got the worst rain storm this area has seen since the 80s. The mountain roads were washed away and many places were flooded. Plan C, we decided to go find a non- flooded area and do a hike. We just needed to be outdoors. It was a great day for a hike not too cold or hot and a bit cloudy. We did get a little rain on our hike but luckily it wasn't too much and we were fairly dry under a tree eating our lunch. We ended up doing a 4 mile hike. 

Ready to hike.


We found some great rocks to climb. Caden loves to climb.



Chase did great, until almost the end and then he needed a little ride to refuel and then he was off again.
