4th of July Campout in Ashley National Forest

Here are some photos of our adventures last weekend!


We woke up super early in the morning and drove up to Strawberry Reservoir for some fishing. We didn't have much luck at Strawberry, but we did the new place we went to in the afternoon. Chad out fished us all by a mile (something he is very proud of).


We camped right down the road by the Upper Stillwater Dam which was quite a sight.



The next morning we went on an amazing hike around the reservoir, through the forest, and up to the top of a mountain. It was the perfect weather for hiking and the trees, rocks, flowers, and streams were gorgeous! We went off the trail at one point and did some pretty intense climbing over some huge boulders and rocks to get to the top of the mountain. We also found some natural springs and refilled our water bottles. The water was so good and very cold. I thought I would be really sore because it was over 7 miles and there were a few rough parts, but surprisingly we were all fine the next day. I can probably say without a doubt that it was the best hike that I've ever been on.
