Hike #5 and #6

#5 Horsetail Falls

The obligatory trailhead photo op

 Down checking out the falls

Just beautiful. 

I love walking by walls of mossy rock with water dripping down. I want this in my backyard with the view of the previous picture as well. 
A girl can dream!

Waiting to cross. 

We made it to triple falls!
Not a bad view to stop for a snack

Aaaanndddd, time for a nap. 
Jack worked hard on the way up ;)


#6 Coyote Wall

 No selfie at the trailhead sign this time as it was too far away from the actual trailhead seen below.
 There I am, pointing to our destination! The top of the cliff!

 The view from about 1/3 of the way up
If you look really really close, you can see the tip of the mountain.

Made it to the top of the cliff and snapped a picture of where we started

 The boys and doggy taking in the view

 Doggy rest time

 Steve making the ascent and packing the kid and dog along

 We made it!

 The family chillin' out at the top of the ridge. Having a snack and a rest :)
Jack chose a stick rather than his crackers during break time

 Everyone just doing their thing :)

 Jack and Mama enjoy the view!

 Family selfie, too bad the mountain in the background is all washed out

 Making our way back down.
We only saw 2 other people on the way up, but stopped counting when we reached 58 people on the way back down.

 Stop taking my picture. It's nap time.

Watering the doggy:)

All in all a good day except we were tired and our poor doggy had injured her paws. 
We are really enjoying the nice weather we've been having so we can get out and enjoy these views!
