Candy Mountain Hike

Thursday after school, the kids and Jeremy took a hike up the burned up Candy Mountain. They took the new, longer trail. Before, they had only climbed the steep, shorter trail. 

The top of Lake Lewis was marked here too. This is how high the water got during the Missoula Floods that occurred between 13,000 and 15,000 years ago. 


He did a panoramic shot overlooking the other mountain ranges in the area. 


Red Mountain and Rattlesnake Mountain are in the distance in this picture.

Looking East toward Badger Mountain. 


Lots of black and burned land. 


Looking toward the unburned Badger Mountain. You can also see the Columbia River off to the left.  This is about at the top. When they got to the top, I got out the binoculars and was able to see them up there as little ants running around. They could see our house too, but couldn't make me out since they didn't have binoculars. 


Elizabeth always likes to pose on big rocks. 


Jeremy tried to get a picture of the blackened land.
