Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Temple

After our trip at the zoo our feet were aching, but we still had a lot more to do that day. We needed to go to the temple at the highest point in Chiang Mai. It was a long twisty road up the canyon, but when we got there it was beautiful!
Before we went we thought we needed to climb 1,000 stairs to get to the temple, but we ended up taking the elevator instead of the stairs because our feet hurt (it was a big zoo in Chiang Mai)... 

This was the first part of the temple we saw when we got to the top. It was a huge temple on top of the mountain and it was very pretty. It is the most popular one in Chiang Mai.

We were more interested in the viewpoint though looking over the city and the forest. It was very beautiful. From the view of the city we could even see the square in the main part of the city.

This is what part of the forest looks like, it has a lot of palm trees and a ton of other trees around.

When we were looking at the viewpoint this was another temple right behind us. There were like three temples on top of the mountain. We didn't look at them as much as we looked at the view.
