Spring hikes with Sky


From Sky's blog - Sky is CH Grayhart Lightfoot Early Morning Rain, RN,JH,TD,NA, NAJ,VX (Parker x Trixie)
 
This sign (above) is actually on the Balsam Preserve side of the gate, but thought it would be a perfect photo opp! We saw many lovely wildflowers on todays hike, along with a baby bird just testing it's wings, a lizard, and most exciting, Sky pointed a grouse at the edge of the trail and held her point until the grouse flushed! I was so excited of course I failed to get a picture, but I am so proud of her holding on this wild bird!

Morning in the Mountains - walk near Lake Logan

Snapped this shot of Sky before meeting friend Susan to walk a fire road near Lake Logan.
Sky enjoyed a nice roll in the grass after our 6.8 mile walk, we all sat around for about an after returning to the cars just enjoying the beautiful day and peaceful surroundings.

We cannot wait to visit Debbie and Sky this summer and experience these beautiful hiking trails first hand!
