Way Out West, The Story Goes...

Since Reid is hiking Mt Rainier in a couple of weeks, he wanted to head to Montana and climb a mountain a bit higher in elevation. Long story short, there was no "true trail" and Tara ended that idea quickly. So to make the trip to Montana somewhat worth it, we stopped in Sandpoint, ID on the way back home and camped.

Our second family camping trip

Lake Darling where we set up camp. It may be pretty, but the mosquitos made it not so fun

Beautiful mountain view on the hike back down

Before we headed out of Montana we stopped at a river we crossed to see how Synder did in the water. While he was more than willing to walk around the shallow areas, we thought it would be a good idea to show off some swimming skills. I don't think he was too pleased with us!
