Dennis and the 4th year hike

You may have wondered why Dennis wasn't at Michelle's supprise birthday party. This is why. The 4th year hike. Dennis has always stayed at the back so the slowest girl doesn't get left behind. This year was no exception. I think that there is as Sacrament Meeting talk in there somewhere. They hiked the North Loop trail toward the Peak. Too much snow this time of year to hike to the top.
This is Rain Tree. It is a Bristle Cone Pine. It is estimated to be about 3000 years old. The oldest living tree in the Spring Mountain Range. The Sunset was Incredible
Packing up in the morning.... Then clouds start to swirl and churn. Look out.
A freek snow storm hits. It lasts about 20 minutes and then is over. That was lucky.
It's all down hill from here.
We love to hike. We took the Achievement day girls hiking last weekend to Pine Creek at Red Rock. The flowers are blooming and it is so beautiful.

Maybe we CAN use this for a talk...seeing how Brady and I have to give sacrament talks in 2 weeks.

Wow! That sunset picture is pretty great...maybe Dennis should join your camera club.
