Pine Creek Falls Hike - Montana

          On our first full day in Montana, we set out to explore a nearby mountain.  My Dad read about a great family hike up to the Pine Creek Falls.  One mile to the falls and one mile back.  A manageable distance for nine adults, one toddler, and 2 babies.
          The hike did not disappoint.  From the trees to the mountains to the creek, it was all amazing.  I carried Claire comfortably on my back.  After trying a few different methods, Beckett settled in with my Dad in the Bjorn, and Audrey did very little walking.  The rest of the hike, she was content to be toted by her aunts and uncles.  She rode on the shoulders of Garrett, Spencer, and Stuart, and she even convinced Meg, Courtney, and Lara to carry her from time to time!  We were all more than impressed by the falls, especially since sometimes you read about a hike to a "waterfall" only to find a drip when you arrive.  On the hike down, both babies AND Audrey fell asleep.  Sweet Audrey nearly fell asleep on Uncle Garrett's shoulders, and she did sleep as soon as he transferred to his arms.  I think he got in quite a workout carrying her down the mountain!
