The South Crest Trail begins just north of I-40, on the east side of the Sandia Mountains, and if you follow it for a short hike, you are rewarded with a cave and a waterfall. So...guess how Mommy, Daddy, and Adalyn decided to spend one beautiful summer day?
 |
| Seriously, someone should be on toddler watch... |
 |
| "AAAH! I'm so excited to go hiking in the mountains! AAAH!" |
 |
| Here we go! |
 |
| Oooooh, the moon makes an artistic appearance. |
 |
| Adalyn is already a pro at navigating the rocky terrain. |
 |
| More rocky terrain...you'd think we were up in the mountains or something. |
 |
| Adalyn demands that she is first in line. Let's hope she knows where she's going! |
 |
| Snack break! OM NOM NOM! |
 |
| Sunlight through the trees |
 |
| Ooooh, a spider web! |
 |
| Ooooh, a cool looking tree trunk! |
After climbing over rocks as big as Adalyn and avoiding the spiky plants of the desert, we finally made it to the cave and waterfall.
 |
| This cave is barely big enough for the two of us. |
 |
| "Oh hai! CHEESE!" |
 |
| What a sunroof in a cave might look like. |
 |
| What a front yard of a cave might look like. |
 |
| Gentle stream running down the rocks |
 |
| Tada! A waterfall! |
 |
| EXTREME WATERFALL CLOSE-UP! |
 |
| Rocks, and trees, and dirt, oh my! |
And here's what it looks like when a little girl is tuckered out from too much fun...
 |
| Finally decided on her own that it was a good idea to go to sleep...after hours of putting off the inevitable. |
 |
| I call this adventurous sleeping. |
