Our Family went on a 5 mile hike to Triple Falls. We started the hike at the Horsetail Falls trail head and made our way behind Ponytail Falls and then cross the bridge over Lower Oneonta Falls. Then Stephen and Kent hiked down a very steep secret trail to the hidden "Real Oneonta Falls" and our final stop was Triple Falls.

Palouse Falls

On the way home from picking Matt up from school in Moscow Idaho, we discovered this hidden waterfall in the middle of the desert in Eastern Washington. If you have ever driven highway 26 toward Pullman & Moscow you know that it is very dry and not much to see. Palouse Falls is towards the end of the Palouse River that dumps into the Snake River.

10 mile Hike to Hamilton Mountain with the Scouts

Today Kent went with Stephen & Preston and their Scout troop on a 10 mile hike to Hamilton Mountain. The summit elevation of 2480 feet may not sound that high, but when you start your hike near sea level it made for a very steep hike. It was a beautiful hike filled with great views and giant cliffs. Preston isn't in any pictures because he hikes like a mountain goat and left his dad eating his dust or on a day like this I should say mud. We made it to the snow capped summit just in time for lunch.

Hardy Falls











Stephen and Kent took time to enjoy Hardy & Rodney Falls on the way back down. The hike took us through rain, snow, & mud. Della spent the day cleaning the house only for us to come home caked in mud.
