As I said in my last post, Jon flew up from Arizona to go on a hiking adventure with Jordan. The two drove a couple of hours up the middle of the Big Horns to get on the Cliff Lake Loop Trail which, judging from the pictures, was pretty spectacular. After a 4+ mile hike through a pine forest, the men hiked through a meadow and up a cliff pass to see some pretty epic views.
At over 10,000 feet in elevation, the mountain range is home to numerous crystal clear alpine lakes.
The boys hiked a total of 19 miles in 2.5 days, stopping each night at a different lake to camp. The second day Jordan and Jon walked just below the Black Tooth Mountain ridge, which you can see from our place.
Here's a much closer view of the mountain:
The trek was over far too soon, but Jordan is already planning a camping trip to this beautiful spot with the kids and I - maybe later this fall if the weather holds. We can't wait!
