Hiking Chief Mountain

For Landon's and my date this month we decided to hike up Chief Mountain in Montana. Thanks to Jared and Sher, who watched our girls for us, we were able to do the hike. We went with Scott (Landon's co-worker) and his daughter, and my brother Lucas. We left Raymond at 6:30am and started our hike at 8:20am. We got back to our vehicle at 3:20pm. It was an awsome hike that I would love to do on a less windy day so we could walk along the top. I felt so blessed to be able to do this hike with Landon and celebrate our 8 years engagment anniversary which is the 20th of this month. This is Chief Mountain from where we parked our vehicle.




Landon and I in front of Chief part way into the hike.

Landon is a little closer to Chief



Proof that I came on the hike!





We are getting closer!



Brenna in the rocks!

Brenna on a rock that couldn't come home!


Brenna part way up the loose stuff (I found a place where I stopped slipping:)





Landon found a good spot to rest on the loose rocks (even the big ones move!)





Brenna getting closer to the top



Brenna made it (we ducked down in a cravas to be safe and out of the wind. It was blowing hard that day)





Landon and I at the top out of the wind eating lunch!

Brenna getting a rock out of her shoe. It was much faster going down than up



Landon left our mark



If you look carefully you can see a white speck. Thats our vehicle (I'm pointing at it)
