We Made It!

Well, if you thought we were still catching our breath from hiking up at 12,000'-worry no more!  We are just fine, and just got a little preoccupied with other things.  That said, the view from the top of Medicine Bow Peak in Wyoming's Snowy Range is incredible and worth sharing, so here we go!  Our late July excursion began with a familiar hike; this time, columbine, Indian paintbrush, and other wildflowers added to the already gorgeous scenery.

As we reached our normal hiking destination, we were treated to views of a beautiful storm (thankfully heading away from us) and an adorable pika!  It truly does feel like another world altogether in the Snowies.

However, we had heard that the view from the summit of Medicine Bow Peak was even more incredible, so we decided to press onward (and upward).  As we neared the 12,000 foot mark, we realized that even in late July, you can never fully escape snow in Wyoming!

After a brief, steep, and incredibly beautiful hike, we reached the summit.  Here are a few photos we snapped of ourselves and the scenery while perched on the boulders!

Anyway, we can't do the scenery justice on here, so come visit sometime and we'll show you in person!  Until then, enjoy August, and in our next installment, we'll bring you with us on our late summer vacation to New York!
