Sometimes we need pep talks. It helps us get through challenges. Today we did one of our longest hikes to date and Mais rocked it! Why? Cause we told her she had big strong legs and she could do it!
A couple years ago with friends we started to do a 7.5 mile hike called Rustler’s Gulch. Now mind you it was in peak wildflower season but just the first lol 2 miles was insanely gorgeous. We weren’t able to complete it for some reason so this year I wanted to give it a go! It’s actually 8.5 miles but the very first mile is on a straight vertical gnarly road that few travel up. Matt said he could do it in the truck so we went for it to shave some length off. BTW it’s pretty funny when we’re on bumpy roads cause Maisey will groan in the back and go, “Ugh, Daddy what’s that?!” Apparently she’s not the biggest fan of off roaming. Lol
Though the flowers weren’t popping as much this late in the year this hike once again didn’t disappoint. One thing I love about CB hikes is that you’re not just hiking for miles only to finally get a pretty view at the top. It’s always a pretty view because it’s so open. Maisey hiked a bunch of it and it was a pretty easy one for her to do.
After the hike since we were right next to the Mecca of mountain bike trails, the 401, Matt decided to ride it over to Snodgrass and meet us back at camp. We spent our afternoon FaceTiming friends and family and then whipped up some dinner and crashed.
