Summit Summer

Are you impressed??

Actually, this is how we got up to the summit.  


Then we hiked down.  
Twice!  

Eagle Peak is part of a ski area.  After our first ride up we hiked down a black diamond run.  Can you say, "NOODLE LEGS?"  After the first descent I had serious noodle legs. The second time down we followed a woodsy mountain bike trail.  

Today was El Professor's last 'unspoken for' Friday before he returns to the public schools for another school year.  He wanted to do a downhill hike to work on our quads before we hit the South Sister in a few weeks.  The kids loved it!  Ten has two new blisters, but a great time was had by all.

I'm impressed, because I'm scared to death of riding ski lifts. :o) Good work hiking the downhills, and may you be well prepared for your major summit!
