3 Crosses Hike


We went on the 3 crosses hike here in Costa Rica with our friends Jay, Stephanie and Caleb Fast.  It was an amazing trip and everyone did awesome.

It included getting up early, taking two buses, then walking up a mountain side (not a hill) for about 5 miles round trip.  The kids did amazing and Leyton walked almost the whole way!

Here are some of the pictures!  If anyone comes to Costa Rica and you have the ability and energy, this is definitely on the list.  There are few places that you can be "IN" the city but be "OUT" of the city and the same time...BREATH-TAKING!!

Leyton on top of the cross.  He had to hold his hat because it was really windy!

Although we only made it to 2 of the 3 crosses, it was still a great--and tiring--day!  We will be doing it again soon!
