The day after Daddy's race we enjoyed a local hike up Mount Garfield. It was only 2 miles each way, but 2,000 feet of elevation up. The girls did great and hiked up about two thirds of the way until we needed to utilized the backpacks. The hike was intense, but we made it and so did Daddy on tired legs!

| Just to give you an idea of scale, the people closest in the picture are Charlotte and me and there are a few other people on the ridge behind us. |

| This looks like a good resting rock. The furthest point on the left hand side of the photo is the summit. |
 |
| Look at this hollow rock! |
 |
| Do you see happy Altai? |
 |
| Marin just a little dirty! |
 |
| Backpack time. |
 |
| A very sleepy rider. |
