SUMMIT
The five of us (four humans and Flicka) climbed to the top of this today, Black Butte. Truth be told we drove halfway up, and climbed the rest. Truth be told it took us nearly two hours. Truth be told there was a lot of complaining and "I can't do this..." But. We. Did.
We climbed a mountain, or more accurately, a butte, but we climbed it.
We climbed it.

perfect timing,
just caught this.
there is something so sacred, unnerving, and powerful about hiking up to view our world , up out of the ordinary site lines.
Love the view from the top! Go Links!
Are you in Mt.Shasta?
:)
Gorg! LOVE the photos! That's the Roc's kind of hike right there - UPHILL! We're coming to visit, oh forgot to ask first--can we come to your side of the country to go hiking with you guys?
Truth be told -- I am impressed.
Butte - i - ful!
Oh WOW. Wish I was there. I love to hike! Just love it!!! Now the real challenge is are you up for a run up that track? :)
Looks gorgeous.
Beautiful.
Awesome! I love Oregon.
xo
Yes!
What a glorious day for you all! There's nothing quite like the feeling of summiting anything -even a butte.
That's awesome! Gorgeous view!
Elizabeth already said it, but I agree...butte-i-ful!
That is awesome. Beautiful place where you live! We always had a joke that goes, "Have you seen that summit? Sure, it's a butte!"
I bet Flicka was in heaven! What a gorgeous view of the sisters. I miss that area, but thanks for letting me live vicariously!
You did it. Nothing harder than physical exercise with kids who are whining...you deserve a pat on the back.
Congrats to all of you! To me, there is nothing more symbolic than climbing a mountain. And you get an incredible view at the top!
so beautiful!!
