" There is no thrill quite like doing
something you didn't know you could."
Majorie Holmes
The day felt straight out of a campfire song, Home on the Range! We were definitely roaming with the buffalo and hardly a cloud in sight!
It was a beautiful Spring day. The perfect time to hike to Frary Peak.4,200 feet at the shore. Frary Peak is the island’s highest point at 6,596 feet. My goal was to avoid the lake stink, the mosquitoes and the heat since there isn't much shade. We accomplished all three! We set off at about 8:30 in the morning on the hike. We did gain a lot of altitude but the hike is gradual enough that it doesn't feel too strenuous. The hike is considered moderately difficult.

We saw buffalo. Lots of diverse birds including, but not limited to, hawks and a small, bright blue bird that looked like it flew out of an animated movie, too bright to be real.
The hike was 6.2 miles. It felt so good to be out on the island,breathing fresh air, perfect temperature. Perfect.
We hiked on the trail to the top of Frary Peak but on the way back down we decided to boulder out. I think the bouldering was my husband's favorite part and it kicked up the adventure factor for me!
This beauty of an adventure has held up my blog for far too long. I need to learn how to transfer pics from an email to this blog. Well, pics to follow. Let the adventures continue!
