June Fun

So we've been having a little outdoor fun in June and it about time to share some photos!

On Father's Day we decided to take a drive in the afternoon and ended up here:

We saw some of these:

And we enjoyed some panoramic views of the Mission Mountains:

The little town of St. Ignatious:We also did a day hike with my friend Jennifer on Kootenai Creek. Gorgeous hike along the creek most of the way.

I almost stepped on this snake! (luckily it's not poisonous)

Pretty wildflowers along the trail.

Our next hike was to the top of Mt. Jumbo in search of bitterroots. (click the word to go to dictionary) It is our state flower.

Here's me at the top of Mt Jumbo and Missoula is in background.

Here are some shots of the bitterroots, pretty, huh?

Well that's enough for one post. Stop by again soon, I'll be posting more including our first backpacking trip of the year.

By the way, if you've gotten the emails and know our situation, you should come and visit soon since we may not be heer that much longer! ;-)

MTN bike ride

Hey all look what we did the other day. This is a short 20-30 min ride from our front doorstep! I'm still getting used to the mountain bike. Luckily there is a nice wide path that we can take way back into the wilderness area. Erik's idea is that one weekend this summer we will load our backpacks, ride the bikes up to the wilderness area and then set off on a 2-3 day backpacking trip. Sounds like fun!

We've also been hiking and running around town, no pics. It's still cold and rainy alot here so we haven't ventured out to do any camping yet, maybe this coming weekend.
