Hiking

While my sister was here we went to the nearby national park to do some hikes.

This was on our way to a waterfall.

LMS and I in front of the waterfall.

Just the waterfall.

We then did a second hike that went to this old hut. We passed the stone foundation of another old hut as well as a collapsed log cabin. The interesting thing about these huts is that people lived in them. They were easily a mile off the main road (and miles and miles away from any towns), and the trail to get to them was not wide or well-traveled. You could take a mule on the trail, but I don't know that I'd take a horse down it. How did the original inhabitants do it?

All told, we hiked about 4.3 miles. However, half of each hike was uphill. The second half, of course. So it was a good workout. Little Miss Sunshine did really well- she walked the whole thing with only minimal complaining. Of course, I did bribe her with snacks towards the end, but it worked :)
