We went to Government Canyon this morning for an early hike. We hiked the backcountry, which we hadn't done here before. We decided on a (relatively) short 3 hour hike and were done before it really got hot.
There are a couple spurs off the main trail that have neat overlooks. They call them bluffs, but for people who are used to hiking in the Ozarks, we beg to differ.
Colin took a bit of a nap for part of it, but had a grand time during the rest of the hike.
He was also very interested in all the rocks.
When we stopped for water, he found that banging his little rock against different big ones made different sounds. He seemed surprised at first, but then though trying out all kinds of other rocks was a lot of
There were lots of pretty butterflies on the trail this morning.
The crew.
Before we got back in the car, we stopped off at the trailhead picnic tables for a snack.
And some kickball.
Then on the way home, we stopped off at Dick's Sporting Goods. Colin tried out a mini motorcycle, but it was a little big!
