Mountain biking was another huge highlight! We loaded up two
cars with bikes and headed out to a beautiful mountain area. The air was so
cool and crisp you couldn’t help but breathe deeper. We rode along a well-used
path and crossed some pretty amazing tressels along the way. If you’ve never
seen or been on a trestle you have to go! Pretty much they are these long
wooden bike or walking bridges that connect mountains or passes. The structure
is so intricate and it almost looks like art the way the wood is arranged.
The
paths are narrow which can feel awkward as you try and pass someone but they
are an experience that’s for sure. The bike ride was really great. Near the end
of our journey we stopped to have a snack so we sat down on a bench just off
the trail. As we were eating I saw something move out of the corner of my eye.
I was surprised when I saw this little guy.
I guess he wanted a snack too. He
got a little too close for Paddy and she almost fell off the bench because she
wasn’t expecting this little visitor. I’m so grateful that we have these
magnificent mountains (and wildlife) not too far from us!
Stopped for a break
