Exploring Bells Canyon

I had a wonderful time hiking and exploring lower Bells Reservoir with my girls last weekend!  The water is lower than I've ever seen it, which is sad but made for great exploring!

Always have to bust a move in the mountains!

 

 

 

 

I got to try out my new Nathan Vapor Airess.  It's super light and comfy!  I love it! 

Memorial Cove

There is this fun little cove in Corner Canyon that I've been wanted to take my girls to. It's an out and back 1.5 mile hike round trip.  When you get to Memorial Cove there is a super cool teepee made out of tree limbs.  It's quiet and shady and just right for little legs.  My son even agreed to come along with us, so we had the whole gang, minus my husband.  My girls were itching to hike ever since we got them new hydration packs last weekend.  It was super fun and even my youngest is starting to really enjoy hiking up!  We hiked up and then rested at Memorial Cove before running down!  Fun, fun!

My gang!


Miniature mountain wranglers!





Yes, that large man is my child.  *sigh*  Yes, I'm older than you think.

Look at that little beauty!  When she put on her pack and visor she said, "I'm like a mini Mom!"  Heart.  Melted!











I wonder where she gets it?







I made those people!


 
Even if my kids don't grow up to be trail runners, I hope that I've given them a love of the outdoors and the mountains!  

Upper Red Pine

Last weekend my friend Cherri and I hiked to Upper Red Pine Lake.  It was a beautiful morning and a good time, despite the lack of running.

Next time, Pfeifferhorn!
