Sarah and I just got back from a week out in the Hills. What a great week! Sarah ran the Crazy Horse Half Marathon the day after we arrived. I am still recovering from injury so can’t run. We biked, hiked, walked every day. I had no less than 8 miles a day hiking/walking. We took our e-bikes out. One day covered 24 miles, and another day 46 miles. The scenery was so gorgeous! I took so many pictures! It was a great get away.
Tom and Sue Beaudry were out there for 3 of the days that we were. Went out to eat several times. Hiked every day! Charlie, their dog, went on all of the hikes as well. Whatever distance we covered, Charlie covered 3 times that! So full of energy while we were out there, then crashed and slept the rest of the day. Here are some shots from Black Elk Peak (former Harney Peak):
We were rained on, snowed on, then the sun came out, then the haze and walking in the clouds. Welcome to South Dakota, land of infinite variety–of weather! The Mickelson Trail is awesome, and we were on it every day! We saw deer and turkeys on the trail. Out hiking we saw Big Horn Sheep and Mountain goats!
I took literally thousands of photos! I did a lot of experimenting with the scenery. I have photos for the State Fair again next year! The best way to see things is to get out and move…hiking, walking, biking! So important again to get out and move. Keep moving everybody!
