Angel's Rest to the top!

Today we set our new "toughest hike ever" record by hiking all the way UP and DOWN this great Columbia Gorge hike all on our own two feet.  Well, we also each used our bellies and face once, but that was just to make sure we were COMPLETELY covered in mud!   We like running downhill only the belly smacker made us cry.

It was more than 4 hours long and 4 miles and the top was WAY UP so high we HIKED INTO THE CLOUDS!!  Over 1500 feet high above the river!

This was really fun and we got special treats at the top and bottom for being so tough.    We threw rocks and saw lots of flowers, waterfalls, slugs and a snail.   Plus we climbed on rocks near the summit just like the playgrounds only if we fell here we would keep falling and die.

We want to do this some more!    Click here to see 30 more pics.

What a great hike! I'm not sure which is the better accomplishment...the hike or writing the alphabet! What fun you are having!
