Makenna on the foot bridge.
We knew we were hiking approximately two miles to a back country campsite with the promise of a "long foot bridge" over the Little River. But that's all we knew. Two miles with two little girls is a long time to wonder if the hike was "worth it." It was. It is so incredibly green, as it should be. It is the heart of one of the most consistently wet places in North America.
The view from a large rock in the middle of Little River. It really is this green.
We didn't get to do creak stomping like we had planned but the girls had fun climbing on the rocks. Next time we need to pack some microfiber towels so they can take their shoes and socks off and get a little wet.
Madison and I way back on the trail.At four miles round trip, this hike was a physical and mental challenge for Madison and Makenna. When the trail was wide, I spent most of the hike holding Maddie's hand. At one point I tried a little "Dog Whisperer" psychology and gave her the binoculars to carry. Hoping an "important" job would give her walk purpose... turns out, kids are NOT like dogs.
