Hell's Canyon

It's SPRING BREAK!! We had a hard time deciding what to do for spring break and in the end, we just stayed put. Our friends, Katie and Tyler, were going to hike and camp in Hell's Canyon and invited us to tag along. We loved it!

We got there Monday afternoon and did a little hiking. It is a beautiful canyon.

Here is a view from our hike.

Katie and Tyler have a 4 month old baby. Lincoln was a trooper. The camping wasn't the best for him, but he was awesome on the hikes.

What would a hike be without trying to roll boulders off the mountain?

Not much fun, according to the boys!

Adam likes to take pictures...and it warms my heart!

Here is our camp site. We had a nice view of the mighty snake river. We got up Tuesday morning for our big hike.

Most of the canyon looks pretty deserty, but we would often come upon these "zen garden" looking places. It was so pretty.

Nice!

There were also parts of the trip that made me feel like we were on the Serengeti Plains.

Another little patch of green.

Here is a cute family shot of the Rice's. Tyler loved that I kept taking pictures of them!

We took a little lunch break about half way through our hike. I didn't realize how tired I was until we would stop.

We finally finished... 12 miles later. We thought that soaking our feet in the river would be so refreshing, but it was so cold. Adam told me to leave my feet in for one minute and they'd go numb...which was pretty true. It was COLD!

Adam decided to cast a few lines while we were there. He had a few bites and even one on the line, but it got away. Too bad. But not to worry...we're going fishing tomorrow.

Here is me and my buddy, Lincoln.

We had a great trip, but I'm still sore! It made me really excited for summer. The weather was so nice. Only a few more months!
