there we were. 9:15am on the first day of a three-day weekend. driving to the graves residence. to pick up aimee and stella. for a hike in the mountains. little did i know that the coolest hike of my life was ahead of me that day.
we started out on indian trail at rainbow gardens. from there we hiked east over the mountain and climbed up what seemed like a million switchbacks until we were just below the ridge. the view was beautiful. magnificent. awe-inspiring. in reality, there aren't words to explain it to you.
kenai and stella had a great time. they loved every minute. it was kenai's longest hike by far. rallied like a champ but was ready for a nap when we made it back to the trailhead.
a little self-timer miracle right there. aimee graves and myself living the high life. i believe it was shortly before we stopped for this picture that we saw an airplane flying...BELOW US!!! that's when you know you're high.
to sum up the greatness of this hike is hard. it was awesome. long. hard. steep. beautiful. fun. hot. sunny. shady. worth it. peaceful. inspiring.
i'm glad i didn't miss out on this. thanks aimee.
Very interesting blog. A lot of blogs I see these days don't really provide anything that attract others, but I'm most definitely interested in this one. Just thought that I would post and let you know.
