The Great Wall

On our last full day in Beijing we made the trip out to "The Great Wall". What a stunning view we had. We could only begin to comprehend the vastness of the wall when standing on it and seeing it snake out endlessly across the peak of the mountain. It was very impressive!

This area of the wall tends to be less visited by tourists which made it all the more special for us.

Someone decided that building a sled ride down the mountain was a good idea. It turns out it was. We had a blast twisting and turning down the mile long slide to get back to where we started.

The boys were troopers on our trip and had fun running around the wall and playing on the look out points.

You can tell from the picture that it wasn't easy hiking. There were some very steep sections that made all the more difficult while carrying the boys.
