Hiking in September

My friends, Wendy and Chris, incorporated hiking into their weekend routine throughout summer. In mid-September Wendy planned to go alone but threw out the invitation to me, just in case. Sometimes it's hard to leave the monotony of weekend errands and house cleaning when it's your only time to catch up. Since Walt was working, Carley and I decided to go along for a "quick hike". We are so happy we did! 

Originally the plan was to just hike the Pyramid Creek Loop Trail but the area was so beautiful and the hike wasn't too strenuous, we decided to keep going to the base of Horsetail Falls. We wanted to get a better view of the waterfalls. 

Pools of water were crystal clear. Carley decided it was warm enough outside and the water looked inviting enough that she went for a dip. 

I'm so glad Carley and I didn't miss out on this hike in order to get some extra chores in. 

The views were gorgeous.
