| Hiking up Harney Peak |
|
As part of our time in Custer State Park, we decided to attempt to make it to the summit of Harney Peak, which is the highest point between the Rocky Mountains and the Alps. The path we chose was about a six-mile hike. Bailey came along for a great exercise opportunity (attempting to make up for all that time cooped up in the car). The day was beautiful for hiking-- a crisp autumn day with temperatures in the 50's-- perfect for a strenuous hike up to the top of the mountain.
