Hiking Fletcher Trail

The loveliness of nature.

  This summer we've taken up the outdoor activity of hiking. Mainly as a way to prepare for Eric, Morgan and Abby to prepare for deer hunting this Autumn.

While there isn't a whole lot of options that are easily accessible to us here in Las Vegas, we do have one nice little jewel, Mt Charleston. At a solid 30 degrees cooler up there, it's a wonderful place to get away to for a couple of hours in the evening. 

 

And there is the added benifit of getting a little exercise.

But I think my favorite part about Mt Charleston is the smells. 

Everything is so much cleaner up there.

 The pine trees fill the air with the most wonderful aroma. 

If only you could smell a picture...

I really must give my husband all the credit for keeping us going back. 

He's been the one to say "Everyone one in the truck."

Eric and Abby went on ahead on this trip, while Emma, Abraham and I walked a little slower...it's eaier to explore that way. Morgan was on her Trek, so she wasn't able to join us.

The only disadvantage  to exploring, is that, you can totally biff it. But hey, chicks dig scars. 

 

 It was a good hike. Eric and Abby made it to the top, Emma, Abraham and I simply made it!
