Our First Backpacking Trip

We started near Franklin Basin on Danish Pass on the Highline Trail. We made it about 14 miles which was pretty good considering Kyle was packing at least 80 pounds.

No turning back now.

We had so much fun.

Taking a brake for lunch on the Bloomington Lake.

Ben loved his first backpacking trip. He only cried for a little bit at night. I think he is going to be a good backpacker when he gets a little older.

This is a little taste of what the trail looked like on our way down. It was so steep.

Some of the trail was not managed all that well, but Kyle's contraptions was the best for the adventure. It held up very well and protected our little boy just great.

This is where we set camp up.

At the end of our backpacking adventure. We ended up at Willow Flats.

Grandpa Steve-O met us with chili to end our fun trip.

Ben thought he was so cool driving down the road with just a seat belt.
