For many summers my family would hike Kings Peak. I loved going backpacking with my dad, brothers and sister. These are some of my favorite summertime memories.
I was about 16 years old on this hike. Pete (middle), Adam (right) and I were an hour into the hike on our first day, and about ten minutes before I tried jumping over a mud puddle. Yes I got muddy, but in true Erika style kept hiking.
This picture is of Heather and I at Gunsite Pass. I was about 18 years old. On this trip a storm blew in just before we reached the summit. It was so funny because Heather heard buzzing and started to pull off all her clothes looking for a cricket or bug...it was actually the electricity in the air from the storm. But we'll never forget her freaking out.

Conor came up a brilliant idea to celebrate 
The planning committee included Conor, Jess, 
These pictures are from when we were setting up....once people started to show up there were more pies than places to put them.
Dogs and parents were welcome.
