Went to Wet Beaver Creek for some hiking and swimming today. I typically don't make posts for day trips so close to home. But, today felt like it deserved its own. Audra, Shakti and I ventured down to towards Beaver Creek with the intention of making it to a swimming hole called "The Crack"
It was definitely warm, but we pushed along
determined to get there. The GPS said we had 3.5 miles to our destination
Prickly Pear Cactus. Anyone know if these can just be eaten raw?
We kept walking and walking
Yet, still no water
Holy crap it was hot
Shakti was just running from shady spot to shady spot
After walking more than a mile past where our destination was suppose to be, gaining some major elevation and accidentally spilling half my water we decided it was time to turn around
On our way back we found a little spot to cool off in the creek. Shakti bolted down to the creek. Poor girl was so hot.
Ended up hiking 8.5 miles and drove to where we could just walk up to the water. We were all so happy to cool off
Shakti loves getting in the water to cool off
As long as she can stand
Shakti was not happy to try swimming. Guess this girl needs her feet on the ground
Was a fun and exhausting day. Glad to be home with my feet up. Thanks for a great time Audra and Shakti
