For Valentines Day we decided to treat ourselves to some 80 degree weather. We went on down to Scottsdale to do a little hiking. Yes, we decided we were brave enough to flaunt off our Minnesota winter white legs to the many people we saw ;) You gotta start somewhere! Camelback Mountain was the hike of our choice. It is in a central location, and many people are on the trail every day. We knew that it would be a 1.2 mile hike to the summit, and that we would climb 1,200 feet, what we did not know was that it would be pretty much a steep, straight up climb, that would be more rock climbing than trail climbing. Needless to say, kids were not seen on the trail really, just ours and one other. We heard many comments basically encouraging the boys, and telling them that since they (the boys) could do it, well then I guess those adults were capable of it too. We are very proud of our 8 and 10 year old sons going the distance. Well, enough said, here are some photos.....
Up top is where we reached!
Thank goodness for the handrail above to help us pull ourselves up...
We reached the top!!!!
That is Phoenix and the surrounding area in the background.
Down, down, down we go..
