Big Hike 1

After getting cleaned up from breakfast, it was time to depart for a hike in the park. We walked to the Bear Lake shuttle, which took us to....Bear Lake! Since the kids are getting bigger and stronger, we decided to do a longer hike this year which would end up being almost 5 miles. Nathanael lead the group most of the way, and Sarabeth hiked the entire way! As long as we took a snack break every half mile or so, the kids did great. As you will see in many of the pictures, there are quite a few brown trees that are infected with the pine bark beetle. These will all either need to be removed by the Forest Service, fall down on their own, or burned in a fire. So so sad.
