Frolic in the Forest
I have been wanting to go hiking in the mountains for weeks. Even though the snow is mostly melted away in town, there has still been plenty snowy in the mountains and so we have not been able to hike. This weekend we thought we would finally give it a chance. Our intention was to walk in the Ghost River valley (best place on earth), but we did not even get half way down the access road before we were turned around because the snow rendered it impassable.
Determined to get in a mountain walk regardless of the snow, we headed north up the forestry trunk road until we found some slopes that were devoid of snow, parked the car and started walking.
This was Sargon’s first “mountain walk”. He couldn’t believe his luck when we let him out of the car, no leash and told him to run wild. And run wild he did!!
He got to jump over logs and run over hills.
Of course, no trip to the mountains would be complete without some regal standing and posing,
sometimes alone and sometimes with a friend.
There were a few less regal moments in the forest, as well.
It was enough to tire a young dog out.
