Once you live in a place like Alaska, the mountains own a part of your soul. That part will never stop craving mountain air and a good hike. For this reason, I have to get out of the city frequently. We must explore or I simply suffocate. There are a lot of beautiful places to hike surrounding Las Vegas, and this past weekend we explored Mt. Charleston.

We chose the Cathedral Rock Trail, as we wanted a trail that the kids could conquer while still giving us some challenge. This area was a very pretty place to explore. Large ponderosa pines towered above us from the start, and as we climbed we found brilliantly green aspens. There were a few small pops of wildflower, and we spotted a couple of butterflies along the way. Mostly, the children just played with dirt, rocks, and sticks as usual. We even found a set of rock stacks to add our own rock finds to.

Our goal was to make it to the waterfall fork trail at the least, and we did. However, the waterfall was a small trickle of melting snow. The kids followed Josh up to the top of the waterfall, feeling satisfied with their climbing fun. After carefully climbing back down over the loose rocks and gravel, we headed back home tired but content with a few hours spent in the mountains.

Our family has been exploring different parks each week, since arriving in Las Vegas. This week we decided to try out Floyd Lamb Park. Looking it up online, it looked like the perfect open, green space to go run. What we didn’t see is that there are birds and bunnies everywhere. If you are thinking about bringing the family dog, I’d think twice. We had my brother’s pup, Dax, along for a walk with us, and he was slightly tormented by the adorably tempting prey animals at the park. The kids, however, totally loved watching geese, peacocks, ducks, and bunnies roam freely.

We’ll strolled down to the barns briefly, to see the farm animals, but the barnyard is pretty blocked off during the week. They do offer barnyard entrance on Saturday mornings though, if you are looking for the barnyard petting zoo experience. We had a little peak, and moved on to the lake.

As we approached the lake, peacocks began to sound and geese called out in a cacophony of bird chatter. We knew something had to be up. Sure enough, a truck had pulled up to the lake with a flashing light that signaled feeding time. The frenzy was in full swing by the time we reached the lake. I told the children to stay back, knowing how pushy and nippy geese can get. However, one of the park staff members handed the kids some bread, telling us that the birds were very friendly and would let us walk right into the flock without trouble. Before you get concerned about bread not being the best food for geese, I assure you there was a buffet of lettuce, tomatoes, and ground corn for them to eat. The bread was just their “treat”, and the kids really enjoy feeding them breadcrumbs and lettuce.
