It's that time of year that no matter what hiking trail you choose to take, you will be rewarded for your blisters with a blooming treat from Mother Nature.

I recently took to two trails, one, around the back side of Tablerock, and the other out just past Spring Shores off of Highway 21. I am sharing a couple of photos with you from each of those outings; as you can see, my trusty furry trail mates, Puppet and Payton, enjoyed the scenery, too.

How about you? Have you been out hiking this spring? 

Send us your photos and we will try to get them in the Outdoors section. Label them with "#heyipt"  and send them to: coummunity@idahopress.com.
