Big Creek Trail

We went on a beautiful hiking trip today in the Bitterroot Mountains. The trail was called Big Creek Trail. It was a 13 mile long trail, but we only hiked about a mile and a half. The kids loved it. It was nice and cool shaded by all of the trees. The river ran beside us the entire time. I carried Jaelyn for the first half and she walked the entire second half back to the car. The kids know nothing other than hiking in the desert so it was nice to take them on a hike similar to the ones Josh and I would take while we were growing up with running water and moist grounds. The air was so fresh and smelled of bright, green trees that we can only smell through a candle in desert. I hope we have an opportunity to go for another hike before we leave Montana.
