The Petersons Part II

Yesterday, we climbed up Hoosier Pass.  Well, climbed isn't probably the most accurate word.  We drove from our house up to the parking area where there are some nice trails.  We paused for a group photo.

The web stated this particular trail should be easy.  Thus, we were confident we wouldn't have any troubles.  The trail also supported motor vehicles.  We didn't see any, but it was wide enough in most areas.  However, I don't think the Beamer would make it up this section.

In the above picture, we are still below tree-line.  This will quickly change.  Off to the left is the Pacific side of the Continental Divide.  To the right, the Atlantic.  Lots of beautiful scenery everywhere whenever we looked up and paused to catch our breath.

Bode and Cody are birthday brothers--their birthdays are both 28 November.  Very cool.  We pressed on, and before we could blink, we were above tree line.

There was even snow on parts of the mountain.

We got a second wind, and the top of the hill was in sight.  Jon sprinted ahead to get a pretty neat looking picture.

The views were incredible.

We took a number of family photos...

We were surprised how tired we were, as we only hiked for a total of two hours.  That afternoon, we headed over to Frisco and walked on the pier and watched some of the boats on the lake.  Come Sunday night, we were all exhausted, so much so that today when we went to the Minions movie, I fell asleep.  We had a bunch of rain in the mountains, so it was a good nap-day anyways.  Forecast is for beautiful weather the rest of the week.  The Petersons had to leave early today.  Bode and Ashley might head home tomorrow, while I will stick around to get some things done around the house.  Pleasant day to all.
