Cathedral Rock

Yesterday we went for another hike ( a tough and muscle sore today hike :) at Cathedral Rock up at Mt. Charleston. We hiked up to 8,650 feet with an elevation gain of 1,200 feet. Basically the views were amazing and we were TIRED!! Once again Claire went for a ride in her backpack and she did amazing, even on the way down I was just looking at her and she would start to laugh. She was laughing so hard and loud that it was echoing, it was too cute! When we were at the top we sat and ate lunch and enjoyed the beautiful views.
     Hiking is becoming one of our weekend rituals and we are having so much fun exploring different trails. Enjoy!

Cathedral Rock- wanted you to see how high up we are hiking compared to where we parked

these pretty purple flowers were everywhere on the trail

click on the pic- you can see a waterfall almost in the middle of the pic. We ended up passing it on the trail

the waterfall

still some snow!

the trail got real rocky at the summit

the cabins in the town of Mt. Charleston- beautiful homes, most costing $500k to $1mil and up

Claire and mommy- look at her feet! her new shoes

our car is way down there.. it was a little freaky looking over the edge
