Alright so I have a lot of writing to do to truly “catch up”, but I figured I would start with this story! While visiting Red Lodge (on my extended stay) I went snow shoeing for the first time, and let me just tell you AMAZING! It was one of the coolest winter activities I have ever tried, you can just about go anywhere, and you never fall through the many layers of snow!
So my dad and I have been planning this activity for quite sometime, but every time that I get home I either have pneumonia, or it dumps so much snow that I am to destracted to think of anything other than SKIING! well we woke up and it was a beautiful day out… seriously one for the books. So we packed up our gear and headed out of town. Once there it took me some time to get those little buggers on my feet, which I did without grace, or style hahaha. But once they were on I was off. We hiked through the girl scout camp, up the West Fork, and along side the river.
All in all we hiked about an hour up, and 45 minutes down. I got some great photos, and also some great quality time with dad! I even liked it so much I went back and did it again the next day all by myself!
This is over the first bridge that you cross before entering the Girl Scout camp!
This was a HUGE stove that stood alone in the middle of the forest!!! It was really cool, perfect for a photo shoot!
This is the view looking from the ground up, while standing next to the huge stove!
These are just some of the amazing ice cicles that were living underneath bridge two! (I used my sick new lens to take these)
And last but not least this is a little stump with the greenest moss I have ever seen… all the while being covered with snow!!! ahh I love the winter and all of its blunder and glory!
