Wow, that is LONG! My husband would LOVE to do that hike! It seems like it takes us 6 hours to hike 6 miles... you guys must have been going fast. It's a really pretty hike, though. Congratulations, and I hope your legs don't ache for too long afterward!
Da-haaang. That's impressive!! Looks like a beautiful hike! I love how active you two are! So fun :)
