Up Dobbins Creek

 Climbing out of the valley up Dobbins Creek was certainly a challenge - with some big elevation gains.  It is a good reminder of how long it has been for some of us (Doug and Rania) since we've done much serious backpacking. 

We did stop at a picturesque spot in the forest for a snack.

Tasha and Marta were certainly gliding up the mountain.

Doug cools off - dipping his head in the cool stream.

Getting up closer to the ridge provided some great views.
