On Day 7, or Thursday, Jeff and I were able to take our own 7+ mile hike up three mountains. It's a trail that you follow that allows you to peak, Chapin (12,454ft), Chaquita (13,069ft), and Ypsilon (13,514ft). Beginning elevation of 10,640ft at the Chapin Creek Trailhead.

Evan and Abbie played with Grandpa and Grandma all day. They went to Lily Lake (need to get those pictures). Here Evan is playing tether ball by the cabin with Grandpa.
