2014 Our Year in Review
2014 was an amazing year! Though we put away the camera this year and tried to live in the moment there are lot’s of adventures and memories that we will have forever. The pictures we do have are of joy and life which is all we can ask for.
Angels Rest to Devils Rest

Since we haven’t done big hikes this summer we used the Angels Rest to Devils Rest Loop Hike as a training hike and loaded our bags down heavy. The total hike is about 11 miles, with overall elevation gain of 2770…

So this time, Brent and I decided to make the hike up the Peak and check out the obsidian flows.
