A Mountain Too Far

Sunday Kelly and I found ourselves child free. We decided it'd be fun to go on a real hike, free from the whining of the boys and their threats to call the International Court of Human Rights to report us for torture.

I gamely suggested that we complete the Broad's Fork / Twin Peaks trail that the boys and I had started a few weeks earlier. Foolishly, Kelly was game. With a gain of nearly 2,100 feet (634 meters) to an elevation of around 9,600 feet (2,926 meters), it was a bit more than we had expected.

The good news was that in the nearly 5 hours that we hiked, we came across a whopping 15 people, and as you can see, the scenery was spectacular.

 

 

 

 

Good lord! It's a tree leach!
