hunter pass

A couple weekends ago, or at least I think it was that long ago, the girls and I hiked Hunter Pass and were rewarded with the most breath-taking views of fall I have ever been blessed with! Keep reading after the pictures for more about the hike =)
I have to say this was a hike that ended up a lot harder for the girls than I was expecting it to be. It was so much steeper than it looked like from the bottom. They are such troopers though, after about 10 breaks we finally made it to the top. I'll admit though, the breaks were pretty nice. There are so many times I find myself just wanting to get to the "end" to bask in the views, but all these breaks teach me the great life lesson that if I just slow down there are great views all along the way! Man, kids really are so good at teaching us how to live life in the best way possible!! If you want to do this hike with kids just make sure you have plenty of water and snacks because it is work to get to the top. We hung out at the top to have lunch and it was so amazing. There were also a ton of fresh blueberries to snack on!
The next time we do this hike I will allow for a lot more time up at the top to walk along the ridge. It was so beautiful up there! If you take the marrow trail all the way through the pass it connects you to Rendezvous Peak. I'm not sure how long of a hike that would be in total but it seems like it would be well worth it and is now on my ever growing list!!
