Last week @haileyscomet and I had a full line up of places to go to, but tragedy stuck and I had to fly back for the funeral of my grandmother and we missed out and had to push it back a week. Only issue is, this is our last week in the US before we go to Canada for the summer, making our time limited and we have other plans for the week so we only had yesterday to hike. We had to choose wisely and oh did we! The Big Four Ice Caves was truly magical, even without being able to see the ice caves themselves because they we snowed in, but the snow, mountains, and waterfalls were just awe inspiring and it did not even matter. Pictures do no justice of the true beauty of this place! There were too many waterfalls and steams of water to count, but it was so amazing to see them just flow down into the snow and vanish.
This hike is an easy 2.2 round trip journey, plus the extra part of the hike where we went off the path to go around and see the full beauty of the place. When we went off the path, we were alone so Hailey did a nude photo shoot in the snow with the amazing backdrop. In between shoots we enjoyed an nice herbal joint and sat back and took it all in. It was incredible and I did not want to leave. But since the ice caves were not accessible, we have to go back, so I know my time there is not done.

Stay tuned for part 2 where I get into more about the Ice Caves and their danger and then for the video from the hike!

Danger is always lurking!
It just is not in our nature to stay on the beaten path...
