The Hike Day!

Monday, July 14, 2008

Linda and I decided to go for a hike yesterday! It was an excellent idea because I only have 3 more days until I go back to work...ugh...so Linda and I are planning to live it up as much as we can....

We decided to get up at our leisure yesterday and go hiking in the Alpine Loop.We decided to visit Cascade Springs first because I'd never been there before.

As we wandered around--the water was beautiful and refreshing. Water is one of my favorite of God's creations and I love to see it--but even more so, I love to play in it. Unfortunately we can't play in the water there...which is probably good for the beauty of nature...



After that we tried to hike somewhere else around the Sundance area--but we couldn't find the trail we were looking for. So we just wandered and saw the quaking aspens--another of my favorite of God's creations--they are my favorite tree because they are remarkable. (Learn more about the aspen trees here: Aspen Wikipedia).


We also had some great views of Timpanogos and of the horrible dark dirt. I was wearing some roll up capris and my legs were filthy! I had to climb into the river to wash them off...



Linda and I have plans to continue hiking some more the rest of this week and to go exploring more...plus we also are setting a goal to maybe hike Timp later this summer. If anyone wants to join us--let us know!
