Wheeler Peak Doty Reunion

This year for the Doty Reunion we went to wheeler peak and camped. We had a fun time hanging out and we also checked out the Lehman Caves-it was pretty cool! We hiked to Stellar Lake, which is 2 miles total and Vi impressed us by hiking the WHOLE way. She was excited to hike to the top of the mountain and kept repeating that every few minutes. We didn't by far go to the very top but that was enough for me. The view was beautiful !








We could spot these from the trail.

Maicey was collecting rocks the whole way up and back, not just little pebbles but huge ones. This rock in particular I tried to convince her to leave by the side and get it on the way back but she insisted on carrying it.


Violet, "hike to the top of the mountain."

totally worn out in front of the fire.





Gage LOVES his uncle Conrad and calles him Best Buddy, he was always wondering, "where is my best buddy?"


Violet insisted that I roast her mallow.
