We took the most amazing hike!! It was probably 70 degrees and simply beautiful. The kids were freezing (me too)!
We crouched down to be on the same level as Luke. So he crouched down too!
We're standing in front of a fireplace in ruins. You can tell from Jake's face that it was a little nippy!
We found a small cave.
Luke discovered the dirt beneath his feet and that was the end of hiking for him. This was not normal dirt either. It was finer than sand and softer than Luke's baby bum. When we finally got to the end of the trail, Luke had a handful of it clenched tightly in his hand that he had carried the entire way.

Not going anywhere. We kept saying, "Come on Luke, let's go", and he would say, "Okay in a minute". Wonder where he's heard that before...
This trail was sooo cool!! It had switch backs across the river the entire way.

This trail was sooo cool!! It had switch backs across the river the entire way. That was the kids' favorite part!
Jake stops to watch a bug fight for his life in the river.
After this picture, the battery in my camera died. I was quite sad because this was by far the most beautiful hike I have been on since we've lived here. Changing leaves, red rock, evergreens, blue skies, rocky streams ahh it was a little piece of heaven!

Oh wow! We have got to try this hike of yours - it looks beyond amazing. And perfect hiking weather - a little nippy is better than hot.
That looks like the perfect hike! I can't wait to get out our sweatshirts too!
