Heather and I joined a hiking group from Mt. Olympus Presbyterian and went up Millcreek Canyon to the Grandeur Peak trail. We could’ve gone to the top, but our leader had to leave at a certain time, so we turned around maybe 30-45 minutes from the top. We weren’t disappointed. It was a lovely, secluded hike. About 2.5 hours round trip. We enjoyed chatting with the church members. We’re planning to go with the group on their Sunday afternoon hikes as well.
One of the church members let Heather use a walking stick he owned. He said she could keep it over the summer. Look how happy it makes her.
I think that's the peak in the background. Since we didn't reach the top, we talked about returning and doing the whole trail. But we have a LOT of different trails we should check out while she's here.
Heather spotted a rainbow. Can you?
The hiking poles worked GREAT. I figured them out this time. Thank you, Spencer. They are a lifesaver.
If you squint as hard as I'm squinting, you can see my biceps.
Heather has been quite the little adventurer. She is not afraid to step outside her comfort zone and challenge herself---or if she is afraid, she chooses to push ahead anyway. She is willing to try new things. I think her outlook about moving out here for the summer has been the best attitude to have.
