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
