Montana Trip... A Little Late

I didn't have a working camera battery on this trip and so I had my mom send the ones from hers. I just got them yesterday and here are the highlights. We did a lot of hiking and took a 23 mile bike ride down AND up the Hiawatha Trail on the border of Idaho and Montana. It is absolutely gorgeous up there and it was so awesome that my mom (who just had back surgery last November) finished the whole trek! The bike ride was her idea so I don't want anyone to think that we forced such a journey upon her, she loved it and it really was great to see her finish with zero problems.



The raging river behind us is only supposed to be a small creek but the run-off has increased all the creeks and rivers to 5x their normal sizes. It was so loud that we had to kind of yell to talk to each other.


Lunch Break


Nearing the end of the ride.


The last leg is through a 2 mile tunnel that is so dark you have to use a flashlight and it gets down to 40 degrees. It gives a lot more meaning to "the light at the end of the tunnel" because your hands are numb and you just want to get back out in the sun.

Such a fun trip! Hopefully we'll be able to take a break next summer and go back :)
