Hike up Phillips Ridge

Tuesday morning we all had responsibilities (work for me and swim practice for the kids), but we got in a good hike in the afternoon.  This is one June showed Christian while she was here (where they found they Elk leg...glad we didn't get so lucky this time!!).  Pictures and video (mountain stream sounds still get to me...hope they always do!) below.


Tullis figured he and Jane would go on ahead!
There were 2 spots you had to cross the stream.  Pictures are out of order.  The smaller spot was further up the path.


Moose Scat!  Jane got to check off a clue in her book!
Here are the nature pics!!


Notice the bridge further up?  That is the bridge Christian and the kids were standing on.
Also the video was shot here.

Looking down dream same spot.


Totally dead just waiting to fall.

The stream further up the mountain as it peaked through.




Jane found a pretty leaf (imagine they will all look like this in the fall!) and when she got tired of carrying it
 Christian volunteered...note it stuck through his cap?

Rest and nourishment!

The trail was mostly single file although it did widen in spots

Need a better camera...really pretty spot of white flowers!

Jane fell so her Dad stayed with her 'til the end.

Back at the small bridge.  Doesn't she look little?
