Saturday we took a family hike up to the Houston Brothers Trail, which is north of Payson (past Clints Wells and then nearly 20 miles on dirt roads). Because I'm short on time I'll just post pictures and write about it later.

Snack before the hike. Bundled up because it's cold! (62 degrees)

Strapped in my new backpack (thanks to a great Craigslist find!)

Hiking the trail

I'm loving this!!!

One of the ascents of our so-called "easy" hike

Which to eat? Graham cracker or pine needles?

Asleep at the wheel

Overlooking the rim

Family shot

Stretching the legs. "I'm on top of the world!"
