I was going to put together this great video montage of a recent backpacking trip that matt and I took WITHOUT the kids.. but my movie maker was being silly... so just imagine looking at all these fabulous pictures with the song " I lived" by onerepublic ... you can listen to it here...
It was 14.5 miles total and about 2500 feet of elevation gain!!!! I think that if I hadn't taken up running I wouldn't have been able to do this!!! It was such a great experience and MUCH needed! There was a few times that I was just so awe inspired by all the beauty!
I thought these flowers looked like the lorax trees...
I love the vivid purple
beautiful wild flowers!
Yep.. that's me climbing up the ridge... totally freaked me out. BUT I DID IT!
see me sitting up there?
matt had no height fear
Mt. Rainier in the background ( we think... not to sure!)
this is as far as we got.. I was to scared to go across this glacier without some walking sticks or something.. if I slipped it was a LONG way down... In the background you can see some mountain ridges.. they are called the knive edge.. one day I want to do that.
silly :)
my favorite exploring companion!
I thought this little crop of trees was magical.. like a little world on top of the mountains
I loved this beautiful flower growing out of the rocks
wildflowers
I LOVE exploring!!!
my yellow shoes!
Roxy, a great traveling companion!
One day I hope to hike a lot of this trail that spans from Canada down to mexico

Oh my goodness. I could not do that...esp the pic you took at the ridge...my heart started pumping and you are already home!
But the beauty is breathtaking! Absolutely stunning. My soul was fed by the flowers and the Lorax flowers were so magical. Good for you! Crazy but oh so inspiring. I think it was the perfect respite and just what your heart needed!:) Yay...
Wow! Incredible! ~R
