By the beginning of April snowboarding is getting a little slushy. We were able to get in one last great trip to Showdown with fresh powder, and then the temps began rising. After a couple of weeks of sunshine we were itching to get back to the mountains, so decided to go camping. The weather was warm and sunny when we left Great Falls, but as we got closer to the mountains, it began to look like this...
We were able to find a campsite with some bare patches in the surrounding snow, bundled up, and pitched our tent by this beautiful creek. Nothing a warm fire and a down vest can't cure!

| Happy to be in the mountains - red noses and all! |
 |
| So peaceful! |
 |
| Still a little chilly for a swim! |
The next morning we set out on a little hike to Double Falls. We bought a book on Montana Waterfalls last summer, and are doing our best to check them all off in person. This was our first of the year!

| There's a beautiful sparkling pool between the "upper" and "lower" falls. |
 |
| Mmmmm...moss everywhere! |
 |
| Climbing all over the rocks. |
What would a trip to the mountains be without a little shooting?? Of course we brought some guns. Hub's is a little bigger than mine!
What a great start to the "summer." We're looking forward to exploring as much as possible!
