My parents and I took the gondola up to the top of Snow Basin today and had lunch. Then we went on a little hike to the ridge. We had to hike through snow to get there. Crazy, huh? It was so pretty. It's crazy to see snow and then even higher on the mountain to see wild flowers. There were so my pretty wild flower photo-ops I couldn't past it up and what a view from the top. On the way down we "shoe-skied" down the snow instead of hiking down the trail. It was a lot of fun.
A little note about walking poles: when I first saw my parents with them last year I thought they were kind of silly and only for older people. They told me that with them it takes a lot of pressure off of your lower body especially your hips and you also burn more calories using them. Well they talked my into getting some for a hike next week to Angel's Landing, so I tried them out today. Wow, I really like them. Usually when I hike my hips hurt really bad because of my scoliosis. They didn't even feel tight or hurt today. They also really helped when we were hiking in the snow.
Also, check out my cute shirt. I had some fun with iron ons and made a couple of shirts with them. This is one of them. I was in a crafty mood yesterday.
