After a great win yesterday at flag football, Angela suggested we head up to Mount Charleston to do some hiking (buy AK47’s) and see what Fitz would do in the snow. After some initial hesitation on my part, due to both tiredness and laziness, I agreed it would be a good idea.
We both knew the hiking trails were close, but we had no idea it would take less than an hour to get to the trailhead we wanted. After lacing up our hiking boots.
To our surprise, Fitz was not surprised by the snow at all. I expected a little more caution, but our dog is apparently an all-terrain model:
After seeing that he was comfortable with the compressed snow, we decided to take it up a notch and delve into some deeper drifts:
Finally, we thought we’d try to get Fitz to do some adventure wiener shots – that didn’t work out so well:
He did eventually strike a pose that I reasonably believe you could call majestic:
I tried to get Fitz to pose with me, but that didn’t work as well:
We had better luck when decided to take our family picture:
We had a really great time. We spent about an hour and a half in the hiking area before heading home. It was a little muddy and I was tired so we didn’t hike the entirety of the Mary Jane Falls trails that we stopped at. We’ll definitely be going back, though, especially during the summer months!
