Earth Tones with Ageless Style Link Up

This month theme was chose by Cammi from Cammi’s Happy Place Blog since we celebrate Earth day in April. And there is nothing better than hiking pictures to embody that theme so I took advantage of our vacation in Eastern Kentucky to shoot the pictures for this post since I had packed a light brown tunic tee.

Daniel Boone National Forest is a great place to hike if you like short hikes with an amazing destination or view. Most hikes range from a 1/4 mile to 1 mile and end or pass a rock arch. Many also have “caves” or rock overhangs to explore. This was one of the longer hikes and went down the Red River gorge with a 3.4 mile trail and both downhill and inclines.

I took the superman pose for this picture because I ended up carrying my 3 year old for most of the way because of safety as well as the length of the trail. I wore my hiking boots to prevent slipping. We were disappointed that the trail to the bottom of the arch was closed due to a landslide but there were still some pretty sights to be seen.

For mama’s of kids under 3, I recommend the Ergo carrier: I have used it with my youngest boys and it can be worn in front, on the hip or back. When hiking with a toddler, it is still very handy. My little man here is 3 and half and I carried him comfortably for this hike. Now going uphill was exhausting but still comfortable.

I love sharing real life outfits in my blog posts: this is what I wore. Maybe not everyone wears earrings while hiking but I do like the pop of color and style they add to an otherwise utilitarian outfit. Hiking does not mean I have to look drabby.

We had snacks by this creek then it was all uphill! The boys kept asking for breaks, water and the distance still needed to hike but we made it! This hike was the Gray’s Arch trail.

And now to link up with the Ageless Style Ladies! Don’t forget to stop by their blogs to check out their earth inspired outfits!
