They all managed to get wet to some extent
We shared a fire pit with another family and made “smores” with choc wheaten biscuits and marshmallows.
We collected the sticks from our Venus Baths walk, and also some that would double has hiking poles for our ultimate huge hike the next day.
I hate getting smoky before bed time, so this night we had tea early, had the fire and marshmallows, then showers and hairwash. I don’t need to say it but the kids slept very very well each night. Even I was snug in bed by 9pm each night.
The Pinnacle, the majesty of hikes, and the toughest for the kids, it took us over 3 hours for the round trip, with tons of stops, detours to other rock outcrops, snack breaks, quartz hunting etc. but we all loved it.
The Pinnacle can be reached by extending the Grand Canyon Walk, but we attacked it from the Sundial Carpark, which took us up, then across a ridge, then a final scramble up after we joined up with the Grand Canyon trail.
They all want their own real hiking poles for Christmas....bless them!
Jenna and Jordan did well carrying the backpacks of water for us all.
The Pinnacle....
Our lunch room for today
