It was a great weekend, a great experience, and a special time with friends.

They had a few challenges along the way that they had to overcome.

Caroline and Ruth had a great time catching up along the way.

At the top of the mountain, there was a beautiful lake.

They had some great views along the way.

Caroline thought the weekend was pretty cool!

They had sunny weather for most of the weekend, but had rain the first night, and hiked in a hail storm.

They spent the first night in a hotel, then woke up bright and early to begin hiking the trails of the San Juan National Forest.

Labor Day weekend, Dad, Caroline and Barrow met Steve, Emma, Ruth and Abby Wong in Colorado for a weekend of backpacking and hiking.
