I can't believe we've never hiked the fire tower at Mt. Elmore. But with one more week left before school started and another hike to go on, we decided to do this classic.
It was probably the easiest of our hikes that we went on all summer, but so rewarding with the climb up the actual tower. We ran into a crew of adults on a Smugglers Notch Resort tour and half of the adults were too scared to go up the tower. The kids were gung ho, but Zephy only made it up a few of the flights.
And the swim at the beach after the hike was well earned:
We also snuck in an afternoon or stream studying with the EPsCOR kids:
And while John and I went on a mountain bike ride, the kids came up with this project to work on with Anna, the fabulous babysitter:
Fun ride with my bike buddy:
And one more fire before school starts:
