This family hike was lots of fun. It was quite a long drive to get to Artist Point. We didn't get the awesome views from the top this day due to fog and drizzle, but it was beautiful in other ways. The fog made these photos very pretty. We hiked around the Artist Point Ridge, then went down to Heather Meadows. Our oldest daughter didn't think she would have any fun going on a family hike (she'd much rather be at the mall or a movie), but she really enjoyed it and even had a smile on her face most of the time! Our other daughter was very prepared. She had so many layers on that she still had a few on after shedding several in the car. Our son was mostly prepared with food and thought he needed to take snack breaks every five minutes. He would say "I'm hungry, does anybody need a snack?" even though he just ate. We finally convinced him that being prepared with food was mostly in case of an emergency and that you don't have to eat everything you bring. We were lucky enough to have the sun peek through the fog a few times. My favorite part of this hike was standing on the edge of Heather Meadows with the sun on my face enjoying the sound of all of the little waterfalls.
