Yesterday to celebrate Terran's birthday we hiked one of our favorite trails here in the valley. Crag Crest runs about 10 1/2 miles, long enough to challenge, but not completely exhaust. It was a great way to escape the heat, enjoy each others company, and celebrate God's creation.
Starting out.
A bit of beauty on the way.
This is one of our favorite spots. The trail opens up to a boulder field with a small grassy meadow, filled with wild flowers, and a flowing creek. It's lovely.
Local wild life, a Marmot.
The trail follows along the top of the crest a far you can see. It drops down the other side just over the peak covered with trees.
Happy Birthday most wonderful husband.
Some more wild life.
View from the crest, this is one reason we try to hike this each year.
Made it at last. See you later.
