Okay, in fairness, the weather and timing was too bad to summit, but my goal technically says to “hike” it, so I’m counting it and if we go back, I’ll update the list, but I really just wanted to see it.
It was wet. And cold. And did I mention wet?
But I had a great time!

Now that Pookie is employed, we may end up with more trips in the future, but at least we got one done – and it was a doozey. Riding horses across the Mongolian steppe during the Nadaam festival. We shared a tent every night, and managed not to kill each other and only snap at each other once or twice. Awesomeness. I love that we travel. I love that we’re close. I’m thankful for my brother.

So, I did this! Eleven days in Mongolia, seven of them riding across the steppe. I’ll probably do one more entry on this after I’ve done my blog blog. It was amazing,and I recommend that you do it promptly, but only if you’re comfortable riding, because riding all day on a tiny little Mongolian interpretation of a Western saddle is hard. The land was amazing – it was a super green summer because it was heavy on the rain (beware the flies if you go in the summer though). I will never forget it. Our last day of riding, we literally galloped for a mile and a half through a field with a herd of horses in it while fresh rain poured down on us until we hit a hot springs. Amazing. Honestly, Amazing.
