Rattlesnake Ledge {May 17}

We decided to be adventurous one Saturday in May and looked for a fun hike to do as a family. We decided on Rattlesnake Ledge – approximately 2 miles each way to a top-of-the-mountain viewpoint. The hike was beautiful! The scenery along the way was really pretty, and the view from the top was amazing. The boys were troopers – Bennett hiked the whole way up and down, and except for a brief stint in the hiking backpack, Ryan hiked almost the whole way. Eliza hung out in the Ergo and seemed pretty content. I told Nate as we were nearing the top that this was about my limit for hiking with the kids right now – I was exhausted by the end (which is more a testament to my lack of in-shape-ness than anything!), but we loved it!
