We watched the sunrise from our planned spot and then headed out to get gas at Medicine Park and saw the gate to Mt Scott was open! So we went up.
We went to Sonic for breakfast and then filled up the van.
On the way back, we cruised through the downtown part of Medicine Park
These turkeys went a little nuts trying to decide how to get off the road because of the bridge railing. The boys hummed the Jurassic Park theme while the turkey ran back and forth making sounds like squeak toys.
The trail to Crab Eyes is very easy to follow!
It is at the Sunset trailhead parking, go past the bathrooms and cross the lower bridge.
Enter Charons Garden from the north end and walk 10 minutes to the marked trail split and take the backcountry/Crab Eyes trail.

SO EASY TO SEE!
that tree to the left had really good cell coverage, we stopped coming and going.
Crab Eyes in the far distance
And zoomed in.
And I was on this trip
The boys morphed into speed demons and flat left me behind.
I got to a vantage point and heard Alex yelling from the top.

As close as I got
There they are!
Alex demonstrates why I was not interested in climbing all the way up.
To get there, you have to shimmy up this crack that Ben got stuck in. There's just no way I would have fit!
Ugh, I had to look away.
Okay, bush in lower right corner.
Look up the crack that touches it. Alex is in a hole taking a photo of me.
The views were amazing, all week.
