Michelle and I hiked Paintbrush Divide this weekend. We had planned on doing the 20 miles in 3 days, but we ended up wrapping it up in 2. This was Michelle's first backpacking experience. Judging by the amount of time she spent looking through her viewfinder on her camera, I would say she loved the trip! Here are the highlights:

| The first night right below Holly Lake. That is Leigh Lake and Jackson Lake in the background. |

| "Brady. Can we please go on an anniversary trip that does not require bear spray, ice axes, and digging holes to go to the bathroom?" |

| Descending 4000 feet in 8 miles was beautiful, but rough. |

| We have never enjoyed the Jenny Lake shuttle boat so much!! |
Wow guys, everything about your trip is beautiful! Incredible mountainscapes. And you both look like gear models. So happy for you.

ReplyDeleteSound like a dream anniversary trip to me! ;) No, seriously, it does. But I love backpacking and was born to camp. Glad you had such a great adventure!
