Here they are at the start:


We even saw a small snake coiled up next to a tree. It looks big in the pic, but the coiled up size was about the palm of my hand.


And, they made it! 2.5 miles and 400' elevation gain later

Was surprised to see some water still flowing this late into the year.

5 miles and 3 hours later, we make it back to the car. Emi's been wanting to do the hike from Idyllwild to the Palm Springs tramway (about 9 miles) so this was a good training hike.

I have looked at your blog and just wanted to leave a comment.
Fall greetings from Sweden.
Hello! I was just blog hopping, and this post reminds me a lot of when my mom took me and my siblings out on trips like these. They were a lot of fun, and I'm sure your kids will look back on these things fondly as well.
Warm greetings from Malaysia :)
whoa, it looks like a rattler, was it? better be careful taking those blog shots!!
I'm not sure what kind of snake that was. But don't worry, I used my zoom!
What a fun day! You and the kids always do such cool stuff.
