Mount Richardson

Heather and I decided to take the boys for a run at Mount Richardson on Thursday. We couldn't make it to the park entrance parking lot as there were many blown over trees about 3/4 of the way up, so we decided to start our hike there. The snow was fairly packed so no problems. We had many seasonal creeks to cross with our first being our largest (remember I said they're only seasonal creeks -- no serious fording here.



Heather felt inspired to play with the camera and take pictures all the way up. She was mesmerized by her all-time favorite subject...


He does love the snow.









How about Oli in the mist (beautiful shot!)...



Yet another "he's so handsome and alert" as Heather would say...



As we worked our way up the mountain, we were having more and more difficulty. We were in knee-deep snow and just made it to the entrance. Might have to look into snoeshoes! We decided to head back at this point as we will have another opportunity to enjoy the park -- with snowshoes!

Heather was intrigued by another fella too....

Those four legged beasts sure look great, but I'm not too sure about that two legged one mucking about in the creek!!!!!!
P.S. The old girl pulling the cart sure is jealous!!!!!!
