Ten years later, still hiking

Early on Sierra learned we expect her to be able to hike her age.
Thus you see her on the right in Palo Duro Canyon in Texas on Memorial Day of 1999. Not long after I took the picture she insisted on being carried back to our tent, but the tradition had begun.
She’s smiling in the photo above, taken last week in Cascade Canyon in Grand Teton National Park, but she sometimes makes it clear she’s still not committed to this idea. I snapped this picture about six miles into a 13-mile jaunt (Sierra was 12 last December).
About this time Sierra declared her feet “burned like the fire of 10,000 suns.”
At least she was wise enough not ask to be carried back to the RV.
