Hiking with Sam, Kyle, Ansel, and Presto out to Hilton Lakes! We headed out to Bishop for the weekend to see some friends who just moved out there before the passes close for the winter. We were initially planning on a short hike on Saturday, but there were lots of kid shenanigans, so we ended up just hiking on Sunday. Kyle carried Ansel on the hike, while Erin and Orea went to see a volcano. Ansel's mind seemed to be blown by the idea that trees could fall over and that trees that once were standing up were now lying down, which was pretty hilarious. The hike was really nice with some really beautiful alpine lakes and views of some insanely tall mountains. It's been good to get some really nice fall hikes in the past couple of weekends. It's great to have friends in such an awesome place, but I think we'll aim for visiting on 3 day weekends from now on. It was a loooong drive.
