Table Rock

We hiked Table Rock here in Boise last weekend. We've lived here for 8 years and we've never done this hike! So it was time. Unfortunately, when we got out of the truck at the trail head, we realized we forgot to put the hiking backpack in the truck! So, Hal being the good sport and tough guy that he is, volunteered to carry Quinn!

Here are Quinn, Hal and Madison on our way to the top. The hike takes you to the top of that little mountain with the cross on the top. I'm not exactly sure why there's a 6 stories high cross on the top of this mountain, but there is!
Quinn did walk some of the way and gave Hal a brake. Madison was a real trooper and hiked the entire way to the top! We were so proud of her and she was pretty pleased herself! I don't remember how far the hike is or how much elevation you gain.... Hal knows all the number details. I was in charge of snacks and drinks!

A view of Boise as we hike towards the top.

Yea!!!!! We made it!!!!!
Both kids were pretty tired after the hike up, so I ended up giving Madison a piggy-back ride part of the way back down. This was a great hike and perfect for our little family.
