Our first full day in Montana we hiked to the "M" that some industrious individuals created on the side of the Bridger Mountains with painted white rocks. Scott and I had hiked it years ago and thought it would be a good (tiring) outing with the kids - our own and our nieces Bryn (about to turn 8) and Maryn (just turned 6). So along with Scott's sister Mandy and his mom, loaded down with water and snacks, we headed out.We discovered later the hike was steeper than all of us had remembered! And tricky at times, with slippery dirt paths and rocks to climb over. But despite the occasional falls and slides, not one of the kids complained or asked to be carried the entire trip - 1.6 miles up, 1.6 miles down! Pretty impressive, I think.
The hike itself was gorgeous - lots of changing terrain along the way. And the view at the top - spectacular. On the way down we accidentally took a different route, which resulted in some interesting maneuvers over some minor cliffs and rocks. But we made it - the first of many great adventures on our trip!
