The Hike - Part One

 Everyone walking to the visitor's center before the hike.  We were all excited to start the morning!

 The one and only pic of our whole group.  I was glad that Emily told me to jump in since it turned out being the only group shot we had.  At least I have proof that I was there!

 Just beginning the hike.  I was already getting tired so I stopped to take a picture.

 Chuck, by a little cave along the trail.  Again, a good excuse for me to rest for a moment and enjoy the beauty while catching my breath. :0)

 When we made it to the top, most of our group had been there for a bit and they had gone down this huge ravine to explore.  It was hard to capture just how far down they were.  Here are Emily and Grace.

 Tim and Brock - they came, they saw, they conquered!

 Sandy, Kimber, and Kenz making their way down...it was a little treacherous!

 Em, Dane, Gage, and Grace.

 I just thought this was so strikingly beautiful!

I think Deb and I were the only ones that stayed up, so the rest of the group can be seen in this picture.  They had such fun exploring and it was fun watching from the top and seeing the wonder as they explored.  What a fun experience!  I was sure glad that I kept going and made it to the top so that I could see this!
