We hiked up to the Norton Lakes in the Sawtooth recreation area. Our first family backpacking trip. It was really hard. 2 1/2 miles up that took us 2 1/2 hours to get to the lake. We had a great camp site over looking the lake. We hiked up the next day to the upper lake. It was equally as beautiful. I was surprised how much snow there was.
We caught a fish or two. I think the kids enjoyed that the most. The weather was not too uncomfortable and it rained a little each night.
We learned a few things on this trip. Apparently it is really difficult to carry apack if you are 4. Brad and I took turns carrying Katie's pack while she carried Ben's and Ben carried Matthews. We'll see if we do this again soon enough to get the benefits of previous experience.
