Mt. Longonot


We finally got around to climbing Mt. Longonot as a family. The last time we did this, the boys were 5 and 3 and we didnt go all the way around the rim of the volcano. This time we were determined to make it to the top and then hike the entire crater. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time with some close friends, Terry and Leanne Nutter and their three kids. Of course the kids were a mile ahead of us old folks but we had a great time building memories. Mt. Longonot is around 9000 feet above sea level, so it was a long day. The hike alone was nearly 6 hours. Another family adventure!
