We had so much fun hiking to Timp Cave with Mike's sister, Jenny, her kids and Eileen. It took us most of the afternoon, but what an experience! The kids had a blast hiking with their cousins, and I enjoyed the gorgeous view looking over the valley. I also felt empowered making the climb packing Savannah on my back most of the way up. : )

Logan and Makayla had so much fun hiking the mountain with their cousins! They were little troopers and had more energy than the three grown ups following behind them.
The last part of the climb was very steep with sheer drop offs. It was beautiful, but freaked me out some that one of our kids would fall off the mountain. I was grateful John packed Savannah the last quarter of the way. It was quite the workout to pack her on my back. 
We made it! At the cave entrance. Elevation 6730 Feet.
Inside Timp Cave.
The Heart of the Cave. I love this story about the Indian Princess and how her heart still beats in the cave after sacrificing herself for her lost love.
Almost back down the mountain. John's face exemplifies how we all felt after our long day's journey--exhausted! But the view from the top and seeing the cave was well worth the climb. We had a great day with Grandma Eileen, Jenny and her kids!
