The only redeeming feature of living in the desert is...the desert. Specifically the high desert. So finally, after months of procrastination, we got the family together and headed up into the foothills for some hiking.
Our good friends (J&K) came along for the fun and it was pretty sweet to see the girls hiking with the kids strapped to their back. In the finest tradition of indigenous peoples everywhere we sent one male ahead with the dog as scout, put the women and children in the middle, and left one male to bring up the rear. We encountered nothing more dangerous than some icy rocks and random pokey plants but you never know.
Ever the gentleman. I, on the other hand, was ready with the camera to record any mishaps.
Due to perspective issues Roland appears to be the size of a hairy juvenile Rhinoceros.
You can see the drastic color change in the sky a little here. We were probably at around 6500 ft elevation and directly overhead it was a deep deep azure that you can see in a few of the other shots.
As you can see, Nubby wasn't really too happy about the situation.
The Pacific NW version of a Burro.
A good photo of JD and K. Note the completely unconscious babies.
