More shots of the hills....

This was taken on our hike of our old fireroad trail whenwe decided to climb up on top of a big rock. The view was even more spectacular!!!! here is Mt Rushmore from "above" the tree line.
On top of the faces is where they launch the Fireworks from.......









This is the big rock we decided to climp. Actually we found a pretty easy route up there from around back.............




Here is Harney Peak from atop of the rock. This is the highest point East of the rockies in the US. Actually all the way to Europe. We have hiked up there several times. Its a great hike. 3 miles up and 3 miles down.....It was a fire lookout tower for the National Forest service for years.





We are looking down from the big rock we climbed up on, its higher than it looks. See the tree tops down below......
WHAT A VIEW !!!!
That's it until next time......Hope you enjoy these hills as much as we do!!!!!!!
It's a GREAT DAY !!!!!!!
Mike
