On our way down we started our hikes. The first hike was to the Nels Nelsen Ski Jump, a 1 km roundtrip trail that led to the site of international ski jump competitions. Built in 1916, ski jumpers set three world records at the hill with Nels Nelsen setting two of them. We stepped into the britches of Nels Nelsen to get a sense of the view from the top of the jump.
Next, we stopped at Inspiration Woods for a 2.5km hike through a rainforest trail. I was super keen to walk the trail, I really enjoyed our last rainforest trail and was looking forward to another. Unfortunately, no one else was feeling as keen as I was. We should have done this trail first. We walked a short little loop to the main trail then everyone gave up and we returned to the car.
After picking up our trailer, we headed to the ski resort to camp for the night. The parking lot provided stunning views of the river and mountains. There were ten or so other vehicles camping as well to form a nice little community. We ate spaghetti and played some cards before going to bed.
