Kamiak Butte

We were headed to Kamiak Butte and when we drove past the bears, we saw one ripping apart a hide so Ed pulled in and the kids were excited to see eight bears pacing and eating and ripping that thing to shreds.

We had a quick (and freezing!) lunch before starting the hike.

Poor Jemma tripped and fell before we even started and literally rolled down a hill and then when Ed had her in the backpack he slipped and fell a bit and then a pine branch snapped right in her face--not her favorite place to go! But she perked up and we are always surprised at how cheery our kids are even after trudging straight uphill and slipping through the mud for 3 1/2 miles.

Jack packed his rubber band gun in case we met any wild animals.

The bears are never being that exciting when we stop! Maybe next time I can bring a hide . . .
