( Above: Seven Devils- view from the 1st lookout tower)My Dad got a cabin in Riggins, ID this past weekend to have a little escape from Ontario. The 3 of us ( Dad, Tyler & I) headed up Friday night for a night of relaxing in a house right next to the river! On Saturday we all got up early & set out on a hike around the Seven Devil's area! The hike was amazing & a reminder that I haven't been to the gym since I graduated- ( * mental note to go get a gym membership!) Such a great thing to do & only a few hours from Ontario!
The Seven Devils Lake was right below the mountains & was the coolest color of blue/green! The trout were jumping like crazy, while we were wishing we had a fishing pole!
The Seven Devils from below- as you can see from the first picture we hiked quite a ways up to get a great view- & that was the short hike! The second hike we took for the day was 8 miles with a great variety of steep slopes, steeper slopes, & a few downhill trails to let us catch our breath!
On Sunday Mom joined us & we headed down the Salmon River for Tyler's first rafting trip! The rafting was amazing & of course I was all smiles! Mom was a little terrified of getting wet, so this is the only picture you can see her head in because she was ducking behind me the whole time trying to stay dry! It started raining toward the end of the trip, which is so weird for this time of year, but we enjoyed the change of pace & weekend away!
