Finishing up our First Backpacking Trip

This morning we woke up the latest we have which is surprising for camping. We had granola bars for breakfast and then we were back on the trail.

The trail was very steep downhill but it was in the snow so you couldn’t really tell that much. Ellie and I would run up the mound of snow and then pretend to ski down it. The hike back was only 2 miles so we were done by 10:30.

After every hike we run from the trailhead to the car. This time though I fell. I only had a few scrapes and I got a giant hole in my pants which is unfortunate because it was me first time wearing them. Anyway, now I have an ace bandage wrapped around my wrist and gauze on my knee.

After that to we got some nachos and Sparkling Ice from the visitors center because we were all hungry. Then we went to the other visitor center where Ellie interviewed a ranger and we checked out.

We were still hungry after and stopped at a little restaurant where we had some chips and salsa. After we checked into the hotel and were still hungry so we had some cheese and crackers. Also, for the past few days I have been craving an orange got so my dad got me one.

We are going to go to Kerouac’s for dinner tonight.
