Hiking the Y

 We decided it was high time to hike the Y. Gramma and Papa joined in as well.
 Porter showing us the way we should go. He did this at every post and he would quickly declare whether we should turn left or right. I don't know how we would have found our way to the top without him!
 Porter and Papa were racing each other. It may look like Papa is pushing Porter out of the way, but Porter doesn't exactly fight fair either. He uses his little elbows to get the best of Papa.

 I was so proud of Bridger, he hiked the entire thing by himself. And I think he only asked to be carried once or twice.


 Porter interpreted this sign for us, "Don't let your dog eat us."
 Porter almost to the top. He also hiked the entire thing by himself. Here he is at the top of the last hill and he's taunting Papa by telling him that he's going to win.

 Disclaimer: Bridger hiked UP all by himself, but he got a piggy-back ride from Papa on the way back down. I turned the corner to find them like this. Bridger apparently told Papa that he (Bridger) needed a rest and he needed to lay down. Papa was happy to oblige.
It was a great hike, and a beautiful view. A little too busy of a trail for my taste, but I'm glad to finally be able to say that I've hiked it. I was so proud of my boys and how well they did with the hike. We'll be finding a lot more hikes to take this summer.

That is good that they hiked it by themselves. Each time I do it I forget how steep it really is.

We'll have to have all of you up to hike it. It was pretty steep, but it was a beautiful view... worth every step.

I used to ride my motorbike all over those hills - the steeper the better. That is where my bike chased me down the hill. Thank goodness they fenced out the likes of me....
