Saturday

Casual Hikers

Ahhh…. Sunshine….we had some good luck during our trip. It was sunny and clear every day. Click here to see the weather for today. We took advantage of the good weather and went on great hikes. We took a day pack filled with water, sunscreen, rain gear and a snack.



We followed bear precautions



and did not do any meadow stomping!



Along the way we hiked through the snow.





and on the way down did some sledding. In the olden days people, would sew tin plates to their pants and ‘nature coast’ down.



We encountered flora.





We ooohhh-ed and aaahhhh-ed over fauna.

This little dude is a Hoary Marmot.



Dr. Stephanie and Bethany created a short educational video for you. Watch and learn. I think they are bound for Hollywood.



Dinner Time Discussion: Are the plants and animals in the Cascade mountain range the same as where you live? What sort of adaptations would the flora and fauna need in order to live in this area?
