Cedar Butte

The pack of the 3 of us was off again this week. This time our destination was the beautiful peak of Cedar Butte- a great walk not far from the house! We saw lots of great mossy greens and plants, and enjoyed a nice break and view at the top. With spring here it's the perfect time of year to get out.. no bugs and a very comfy temp to hike. A few pictures...

The benchmark at the top- put there in 1937...
Summit in front of a great mossy tree...
Neat moss, close up- can you tell it rains here a lot?
A view of Rattlesnake Lake from the trail..
Summit and Papa talk at the top..
Neat bark..
Vil on the top- you can't tell, but this tree is growing on a very steep hill side- if he were to step backwards here, he would fall about 1000 ft. down.
Summit and I..

I always enjoy your pictures. I envy you so close to nature day in and day out. I've never been a 'hiker' but I always want to be one after I check your blog!
