The Hiking Adventure continues...

Hike 2 of 10!

Today I hiked Sullivan's Knob Trail in the southern part of the Bighorn Canyon!

My dog Missy!
I took my dog, Missy.  She was a wonderful hiking companion! 

As I walked the trail, all I could smell was sage brush.  It was so quiet out there this morning.  Every once in a while we stopped and just listened...

As we reached the rim of the Bighorn Canyon, I yelled, "HELLO!"  My voice echoed back 4 or 5 times!

Missy took the lead back and was an excellent trail finder!

I bought the America the Beautiful, National Park pass a few weeks ago.  That gives me access to one of my favorite places.... the Bighorn Canyon!

I've decided...

That I'm going hike all the trails in the Bighorn Canyon

Now... I'm not a hiker.  I'm not an outside sports enthuiast.  I'm not in the best physical condition, either!  But, what the heck???

I do love being outside!  The Bighorn Canyon is absolutely breathe-taking with all of it's colors.  And... really... in my heart... I am an adventurer!

So!  There are 10 hiking trails in the Bighorn Canyon, according to this little publication by the Western National Parks Assoc and I aim to HIKE ALL 10!

I began last week!



Ranger Delight Trail  was the first!
