Just a walk in the park...











Sonny had the great idea of climbing Harney Peak a few of weeks ago, at 7,242 ft it's the highest peak east of the Rockies! The day we went was relatively cool which made for a much easier climb. It was 3.5 miles up to the top and worth every last steep climb once we saw the views from the top. On a clear day you can see four states; South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana, our day wasn't so clear but here are a couple of pic
from the top.











We spent about an hour at the top exploring all the nooks and crannies and getting an all round view of the area. Our bubble burst when we thought about the 3.5 mile walk back down! We made it back and had packed a well deserved beer each which tasted fantastic! We were going to camp in Custer State Park for the night but as every campsite was taken we headed home. Sonny was quite glad to get back to a comfy bed for the night, as was I!
