Driving home from New Mexico last weekend, we passed through the White Mountains of AZ. The fall colors looked spectacular. It was too late in the day to stop and explore, plus, we were ready to be home. Instead, we were up bright and early yesterday and headed back out there.
We stopped and made breakfast on our camp stove next to a beautiful lake. Then we headed for a trailhead and some fall colors. Both of my kids are pretty good hikers. The day was beautiful and the colors wonderful.
Mount Baldy Wilderness, Apache National Forest.
Wesley thought being as tall as this tree was pretty cool.
Stopping for a snack next to the creek.
Wesley thought he could jump across the creek and went right in. Poor guy. It was COLD!
Hiking out. We stripped off his wet clothes, tied Lauren's jacket around his waist, and hung all the wet stuff off the backpack. Thankfully, since we'd left early in the morning, we'd carried kids from their beds to the car and we had dry pajamas for him to change into when we got back to the car.
Time for the kids to drive and the parents to sleep.
Beautiful fall colors!
We stopped at our now favorite park in Show Low, said hello to the cows and horses, had a late lunch, then headed home. A lot of traveling lately but it's all been wonderful. I love getting out and exploring.
