Non-Snowy Season
You may think that these photos are missing one main element — snow. That is true in the Summertime obviously. I declare that there may be more fun to be had in the non-snowy season than the snowy season!

Mossy Trees
Mossy Trees
We found some interesting “mossy” trees on our hike up Mother’s Day hill. Very unique actually, something you don’t often come across. Perhaps it is a form of lichen? I certainly am no expert on the matter,

Have you ever hiked a mountainous ridgeline? This was my first time up so high, and it was so incredible! In all honesty, this was not planned in advance. We were going hiking as a group and I was along

Obstacles and Goals
A couple more photos from our Mother’s Day hiking camera roll. Sometimes the trail can be blocked with obstacles, kinda like life. Obstacles are there to overcome! Completing hikes is like completing goals

Mother’s Day Hike
