Bristlecone Loop

On Sunday, Brad and I wanted to golf, but we couldn't get an early tee time. So, instead, we packed up the dogs and headed to Mt. Charleston for a hike. We did Bristlecone Trail, which is an easy 3 mile trail. The scenery was beautiful, with great views of the mountains and a trail that meanders through pine trees and Quaking Aspen. The high in the Las Vegas valley was 108 degrees, but the temperature was 75 at the trailhead and 68 at the top of the trail where we stopped for lunch. It was the perfect break from the heat. The dogs loved the hike, though Bo tired out early and nearly fell asleep in my arms as I carried her back to the car.
