Dan & Annie's
Summer Adventure 2006

On July 5^th we drove through the Black Hills of South Dakota and visited Mt. Rushmore.

The Black Hills themselves are very New England-like in size, except that there is much more

exposed rock, with cliffs and spires and chimneys rising out of the pine forests everywhere.

The next day we climbed Harney Peak (below) – the highest point on the continent east of the Rocky Mountains, at 7,245 feet.

We were proud of ourselves for the accomplishment, but are really just considering it practice for the higher elevations

coming up in the next couple of months.

The following photos show of the scenery we were hiking in.

That’s all for now,
