Hiking

We took our first hiking trip on Friday to Celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary. We did the same trip last year and had so much fun that we had to do it again...this time with Jude :-) He LOVED the hike. He is so fond of looking at trees so he was in his glory. The disappointing news is that our camera battery died before we even got one picture! I was so upset! So I'll just tell you about it...

We went to a place called Whittaker Point in the morning, the weather was spectacular (low 60's in the a.m. and a high of 80 degrees-what a day!), and we actually might have a pic to show you from this one. A couple of nice guys offered to take our picture and email it to us, so if it comes through I'll post it. We spent a few hours enjoying the hike and the pretty day and then headed to Jasper to eat at this local joint that had incredible elk burgers...yum!

We then headed over to Lost Valley for our next hike. It was beautiful but it is actually known for the incredible waterfalls and they aren't flowing in the summer. We'll have to go back and take pics (I'll remember to charge the battery this time) when we can view the falls. When we headed back for Fayetteville the Elk were out grazing in the Valley so we stopped to check them out. What a day, it was wonderful!
