Hike to Wallace Falls

B. and I took the dogs to Wallace Falls yesterday. We checked in to our little cabin, which luckily allowed dogs and then hiked up past the lower and middle falls to the high point of the upper falls--a 1,200 foot gain in elevation. It was almost three miles to the top, but the view from the middle fall area was the most spectacular. Overall, it was a good hike--just the right level, leaving all four of us very tired when we got back to "camp". We had a delicious dinner of soup and "stove top" turkey and cheese sandwiches. The bed in the cabin was much more comfortable than staying in a tent, but I still managed to wake up with a sore back.

We decided to come back home today, longing for a hot shower and lots of soap. At the last minute we decided to stop at the lake on the way home, and I did a good 1/2 mile swim or more, so am very tired. I'll post pictures of the trip in a bit. It does wonders for me to go somewhere and do something physical after module. Plus, it seemed like it had been ages since B. and I were able to go on an overnight trip. It definitely felt rejuvenating!
