Here we go again. Another hike to check off our list. This one was important for Summer and Mason as they knew that if they proved to us they could handle this one, they would earn their own kids hiking backpack.
Wallace Falls Trail
Lower Falls & Picnic Shelter: 1.8 miles
Viewpoint for the Middle Falls: 2.2 miles (climb of close to 1000 feet)
The plan for this trip was to hit the lower falls and picnic shelter, have a light lunch and then continue to the viewpoint of the middle falls as long as the kids were doing well. I didn't feel like bringing my good camera on this hike so all pictures were done through our phone cameras.

The shelter area here was pretty full so we set out a blanket we brought and had our picnic. This was nice so we could lighten the load in our backpacks :) After having a mini rest stop to eat and sit, we decided to go that last 0.4 miles or so to the middle falls.

Such beautiful sights and I could've sat and watched the waterfall for awhile but the kiddos were ready to head back down. So off we went and as we got closer to the end of our trail, we came back upon the stream that we told the kids they could go in on the way back. This is the kind of stuff the kids look forward to!

We had a great time on this hike and it pretty much wiped the little ones out. Here is what I saw in the van as I turned my head a short time into our drive back home. . . . .
