Summer Hiking

For most of the country, hiking is a great activity to do in the summer. But in Arizona, walking up a mountain in 100+ weather is a little crazy. This summer, we decided to be a lot crazy, and took up hiking as a family activity.





This was our first hike together with Josh. After enduring our first short and sweaty nature walk we got a little smarter and decided to drive up to Pine and hike in the cooler weather. Little did we know that a cold front was moving in that day and the temperature would drop into the fiftys.

Obviously,the weather is never something that stops this family. And luckily the sun eventually came out and it made for a beautiful day.



Juliette found a walking stick to help her keep her balance while crossing the small stream we hiked along.



We even put Juliette to work as our photographer.



We had a great time - especially Juliette. Luckily we remembered to bring a change of clothes for the ride home.



We have enjoyed a few other hikes closer to home since then. And hopefully we can start to get out and enjoy nature a little more without either freezing or getting heat stroke. One of these days we might get it figured out.
