Hiking

We've got a long flying trip planned at the end of the summer - west to ND, Calgary, Glacier National Park and then back to SD.   Of course, this means there will be lots of hiking....

So, it's time to get in shape! 

The past couple of days we've been hiking around Jordan Lake - strangely, the lake is overflowing!  the marked trail actually is thru these trees.  We just cut our own trail on dry land, intersecting the marked trail when it was dry again!  Hiked about 7 miles, most of it pretty level - so an easy day!



The next day -  we chose a much more challenging hike - 5.4 miles and it was pretty hilly!!    One of the overlooks across the lake.  Glad it was overcast so the temps stayed very comfortable.  The feet were a bit tired!

hey T, no, this was across the highway but close by. i'm sure that old campsite was underwater since it was very "low lying" as i recall. love, k

I bet your feet were tired, have a sit down, you certainly sound like you deserved it.
