Birthday Hike

All I wanted for my birthday this year was to go on a hike. Once we moved life got a little crazy for us and we haven't been as active as we normally are. So it was the best thing to go on a 7 1/2 mile hike. It was a beautiful difficult hike that we enjoyed even though it took forever to figure out our way around the marathon going on so we could make it up the canyon.

The beginning of the trail 

It was the perfect day. Not too hot or too cold and the leaves were so pretty.

We made it to see all three lakes and we were enjoying the day just being together.

There was even a small waterfall.

This is the part of the trail where we got a little concerned. Luckily, we only climbed on it for a little bit as it was the corner of the switch back.

Overall the day was great and it was exactly what we both needed to unwind and relax. The perfect birthday present and it was the best day. Even though we were exhausted after hiking uphill and downhill for several hours and a grand total of 7 1/2 miles. But I would do it again in a heart beat.
