Hiking in the Hole

A few weeks ago we went on some hikes.  A day hike, then a backpacking trip, then another day hike.  Such beauty! It amazes me that we live in a fallen world, yet it is still so beautiful.  I can't imagine what beauty the perfect world would have had, and what beauty there will be when the earth is restored.  Here are some pictures from my hikes.

The first hike - Ski Lake

We then went on a 3 day backpacking trip to Glacier Lake with a day hike up to Paintbrush Divide on the second day.

 Some of the group while taking a break.

Me and my dear Analea. 

My roommate Leah.  She is hilarious and I love her. :) 

Isn't she just the cutest?!?!

Leah's older sister Sarah.  She is also adorable and she makes me miss MY older sister! 

One of my RA's, Cally.  She is so cool. :) 

I don't know why I have so many pictures of Leah, but she is so photogenic! 

(Love her...)

The "other" Melissa.  She is a nut and she is so much fun! 

Does this even need an explanation? ;) 

A couple days after we got back from our backpacking trip we went on a day hike to Phelps Lake.  Beautiful!

This is Joe.  He's funny. He's good at posing too. :) 

It may be hard to tell, but this is a picture of a reflection on the lake.  So amazing! 

Me and my roomies! (Natalie in the middle, Leah on the right.)
