For our anniversary this year we decided to do something a little more adventurous. We took a two and a half day hike up Palasaides Creek though Waterfall Canyon and out Little Elk Creek. It was right around 18 miles and we were out by 10:00 on the third day. It was quite the hike. We camped at the top of the upper lake the first night
and in the bowl at the bottom
of Sheep peak the second night.We saw an unfriendly moose
and a snake.This is Josh in some pretty country below the bridge the upper lake and just past the cabin. It says it's a mile and 2 tenths from the cabin to the upper lake but I don't belive it.
We also saw some wolves (interesting huh). Enjoy the pictures. It really was a lot of fun, and something different. We did get rained on the first day, and hiked through the snow the second day, so I'm really glad I had two pairs of shoes.
This is me in front of the biggest waterfall of the two in waterfall canyon. It was about the 19th of June when we were there and spring was just barely coming to that valley.
Josh at the top aprox. 9 thousand feet.
Me at the top of a pretty scary climb. Josh was kicking steps and we climbed up stuff steep enough that you could reach out your arm while in a standing position and touch the mountain in front of you.

Wow! Grandma was telling me you went on this hike. I had no idea it was so intense. Sounds like you had a lot of fun -- and most importantly, so time to yourselves. :) Happy anniversary and happy birthday to all of you!
So glad that you posted pictures from your trip. It sounds like a blast. I loved all the birthday cakes, but seeing you was even better! Here's to another great year!
You guys are adventurous! I want to be lazy on my anniversary! I'm actually too scared to leave all my kids for more than one night at this point in life.
It all looks really pretty! Things have been so green around the west this year, on my drive to WA I was amazed at how green it all was.
Wow you guys are so adventurous! I would love to do that! My husband would like to play survivor man for a week and that's pretty close to it. Congrats you guys on your anniversary!
I hiked up to the upper palisade lake for a scout camp along time ago. It is pretty country.
