Adam at the top of the peak in his old Las Vegas T-Shirt... Me at a big boulder...
We hiked all the way down into this valley and back out! (Basically we went around the big rocky mountain to the left of the photo...) Vegas through the mountains and trees...
Well...Adam and I set out today with the intent of hiking 4.4 miles through an easy-moderate trail (with only a 200 ft elevation change). We got confused and ended up on the wrong trail! We thought it seemed like way more than 200 ft of climbing up and down, but we figured we were just tired and out of shape. After we had hiked to the end of the trail (an intersection to the springs we had already hiked to), we headed back. Upon getting to the parking lot, we realized we had done the upper half of the difficult trail... Total hike was 6 miles with 870 ft of elevation changes! Both of us are exhaused and will likely be quite sore tomorrow! Here are a few pictures that really don't give justice to the scenery we encountered...

I love seeing the pictures of you both. Find an easy hike where you are guaranteed to see big horn sheep for me. Love, Mom
Wow! I'm impressed! 6 miles and elevation! You'll be skinny in no time. Hope to see you soon.
Love,

I have enjoyed the weekend photos in Vegas, surrounding areas and Disney Land...Hope you both are doing well. I'll call soon.
