Trevor with our final destination in the background.
Erin's hair is flying in the wind - and we're not even to the top yet!
Emily sits with the summit in the background-a few hours away yet!
Our crew of kids hiking to the top-Trevor, Erin, Destiny, Brendan & Emily
Trevor, Erin, Kara & Emily at the summit tower-WE MADE IT!
Emily at the lower balcony of the tower.
Erin was just in awe of the beauty - and not afraid to go where the rest would rather not!
She was the first to climb to the top of the tower - and get close to the windows!
Emily, Erin, Trevor and Terry just outside of the stone tower.
A very zoomed in photo of the tower from across the valley as we hike back down.
Trevor begins the descent from the summit of Harney Peak-but this is just a small part of the trail...and there are only about 20 stairs before it turns to a rocky steep trail back down.
Thankfully it was not a hot day and we were even given a few minutes of showers several times throughout our hike. We tested our perseverence and have (or had??) the muscles to prove it! A lot of hard work but it shows that the true beauty of an experience is when we rise about it!

Very neat... we won't be making that trip this year for sure! :( Great pics!
Looks like you got plenty of exercise on this trip. Nice pictures.
