Another beautiful fall weekend so Abbie, Kelly and I hiked up in the three sisters wilderness to Moraine lake. About a 5 mile loop with about 1400 ft of elevation gain.
To give some perspective. The lake we were at is 6000ft. The top of the mountain behind it is 10,358 ft.
This weekend Abbie and I did a fall hike to the glacial lake at the base of broken top. Beautiful weather.
Abbie and I hiked mt. bachelor in the evening hoping for a good sunset. With the chairlift still turning due to sunset dinners at the upper lodge it allowed us to hit the summit and ride the chair down from pine Martin instead of hiking in the dark with headlamps for hours.
The hike up:
Down/Sunset:
Noah and a buddy stopping at some rope swing over near Eugene.
Our main project this week was painting the cabin. Kelly and I have decided we are not fans of painting. But it turned out nice! Before (light color) and after (dark color).
Fun at a couple of local lakes on our road and a homemade sushi treat from Abbie!
We had a bear come down to the river for a drink today on the other side of the river.
And we made huckleberry cobbler with the fresh huckleberries picked by Abbie and Preston.
We arrived to our place in north Idaho yesterday. Beautiful moon rise over the river. (Abbie captured these)
It’s been a great middle school experience for Preston at Grace academy. Next year he will be going to Caldera following his brother and sister. We are very proud of him
Beautiful weather for a hike at Smith Rock State Park!
