We went hiking with two friends today, Rachel & Rachel, and their kids, Bradley (9), Isaac (5), Carissa (4), & Noah (2). We had a great time, we managed to squeeze into one van, drove about 30 minutes, had a picnic under a tree, climbed some stairs and hiked! This was another trail at Mt. Charleston, an easy trail, 1 mile round trip with a waterfall waiting at the end. The trail was rated a 1 for difficulty, 1 out of 5, so basically this was the easiest hiking trail they make. For a 1 it was extremely steep, but mostly flat. If the kids didn't keep stopping to climb onto rocks to take pictures it might have been a lot harder. We saw a few people who were having trouble breathing so we felt good that we actually made it, and with 5 kids in tow!
Here are some pictures from the hike - Little Falls hike, the kids did so good, I was so proud they made it!
Not only did they do good on the hike, they did great posing for pictures! We had a lot of fun, a few falls, quite a few in fact. Near the waterfall were a bunch of big slippery wet rocks we had to climb over and we lost about everyone once or twice, but no major injuries. Right before we made it to the falls Summer was struggling to keep going and was about ready to call it quits, it was a little steep but luckily we were so close and we hit a shady spot that seemed to make it ok. She was also very snacky on this trip, and afterward in the car on the way home, and tonight, so she must be going through another growth spurt.
