These contests just keep getting harder and harder to judge! You guys sent in some great photos, but we managed to pick a winner this week. Thanks to everyone who shared their photos this past week–you guys are really getting out there!
The winner:
Matthew sent in this photo of himself and his hiking buddy Atti (in orange). He says, “Atti was given to me by my twin daughters when they was younger when a buddy of mine cancelled on a over night hike. They give me Atti to take with me to protect me from the bears and she has been hiking with me ever since!” Congrats, Matt!
Runner ups:
Of course, as we said, there were a lot of great photos to choose from. A few of the runner ups, in no particular order:
Lida took this creative photo at Rustic Canyon, California.
Alex and his daughter (who made the sign) on an 11KM Volskmarch in Mineral Wells state Park, Texas.
Jeff Clark on Hawksbill Rock, near Craggy Gardens on the Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina.
From Barbara, on Bow Peak in Alberta, Canada.
From Jill Scarson, a photo of her husband and daughter at Hyalite Lake near Bozeman, Montana. She says, “It was our first 10+ mile hike with the little one and she had a great time! I guess we know who’s the Daily Hiker in our family!”
From Sylvia Angelini.
