boy, oh boy did our friends take us on a spectacular snow shoeing adventure! i am so thankful that we were able to go and enjoy the outdoors. i am also so glad we survived. it was one TOUGH sucker!
the hike from the bear gulch parking lot to the lower mesa falls look out was pretty basic. very secluded and beautiful and not too tough.
we enjoyed the view for a bit from this great look out point.

here we are after reaching the lower mesa falls lookout. i believe that this point kevin and i have seen our fate (the descent) and we have a little bit of fear in our eyes. lol!

starting to work our way down. very STEEP and lots of boulders and deep snow pockets.

here we are near the bottom. so proud of ourselves for not getting hurt. lol.
what an amazing view! we enjoyed a little snack and rest and then headed back up.
i love this picture because it shows what the incline was like. CRAZY!
by the time we made it back up we were WIPED OUT! but, we still had the walk back to the parking lot, about 2+ miles. it was work. and we had NO hesitation taking down our big judd's hamburger, fries, and milk shake once we made it to ashton. well, it did take a little while to get a our strength back to pick the burger up. lol!
amazing trip! can't wait for next year.
