Last Saturday, Cassidy and I went for a Hike up Cedar Breaks. We did the Spectra Point and Ramparts Overlook Hike. I checked the weather beforehand, but only checked for Cedar, not for the mountain. My bad! It was a little chilly and windy, but I said we'd get warm once we got moving, plus the sun was out. (Luckily, Cass still brought his hoodie on the hike! I needed it on the way back!)
The trail was super muddy, so our shoes got very gross, and there was some snow on the ground. It was a tough hike, but the view was amazing! The contrast of red rock, snow, and the bristlecone pines was pretty neat.

View from the trail head, no hike required! |

all muddy! And this was just the beginning! |

I tried to climb the tree . . . no dice |

Soaking in all that is Spectra Point |

See? Totally cool! Not what you'd think at all! |
|
I made it! But just barely . . . can I blame my tired legs and lack of balance in the mud on the baby? |

Squirrel got so angry at us! He was yelling and hissing! He was right over head and I was nervous he was going to jump on me! |
|
You can't really tell, but the backs of my legs were all muddy too! But I was so glad to be back at the car and done hiking! It wore me out! |
You can DEFINITELY blame it on the baby! For the 9 months you are pregnant, everyone else will blame everything on your pregnancy. Seriously. Everything I did people would say to me, "It's okay, you're pregnant."
ReplyDeleteYour hike looks pretty. And fun! I am a little sickened by the snow on the mountains though. Is it really that time again?!
Haha, I'm milking this pregnancy thing for all it's worth! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yup, that's snow. But none down in Cedar yet!
