adventure: cascade mountain

We decided to scope out some info for our Cascade summit trail that we will probably be doing in about a month, my Astro died so no track logs which is probably for the best since we bushwhacked down to the car so I wouldn't want anyone to get lost!

Old school cool

Parked in between the turnoff to Hope Campground and Squaw Peak Lookout and headed up the road

At the gravel pit trailhead, the route we are going to take most likely, the summit's not that far..

My dad found a turkey feather

I love moss covered trees

So tired she wrapped herself around my boots

Oak babe had her 5th birthday yesterday, March 20, so I decided the best present would be to do what she loved - hiking.

2nd camping trip - San Rafael Swell

We headed out and we were going to go to the icy waterfall again but there were way too many people in the parking lot so we changed plans! We drove across the highway and went bush-whacking, looking to see if we could spot some deer. We found a trail on the way back that made things easier , but not quite as adventuresome ;)

*Do not go off-trail if you do not have the skills to do so, ALWAYS know where you are with map/gps and bring extra supplies in case you get lost!*
