I know I promised more than a month ago that I would give a lengthy description and put up pictures from our Girls' Camp Hike, but I didn't get around to it until now. Thankfully, I was just organizing my pictures and remembered that I need to post these, so here they are:
The beautiful, green terrain we passed as we were driving.
The rocky terrain of the hike
I forgot my water bottle out in the car so I was absolutely parched and dying until one of the leaders said that the water was safe to drink from, so I braced myself for disaster and drank it. It was surprisingly good, much better than the water at the campground.
Sometimes we were forced to move off the paths because they were flooded with waterfall water
There's something about the setup of the rocks and dead branches in this picture that makes me think of the elephant graveyard from The Lion King
Several of the waterfalls were covered in snow and there were several times that we had to choose whether to wade through the waterfall or hike over the snow. (Although it wasn't really a choice for me, I tried hiking over the snow but it was not meant to be and I slipped back down.)
Here was one of the most interesting parts of the hike, where we had to hike the last section over four foot deep snow.
Okay, so maybe that wasn't a lengthy description, but I didn't want to put you through that so that is all that I will post on this hike.
I'm glad you didn't get Beaver fever or anything bad drinking from the streams! Beautiful photos of girls camp and also of Lizzie. Well done Meg!
