New Years' Snowshoeing

Thursday, January 1, 2009
I did it! I typed 2009 without messing up!

Today, Bryant and I decided to go snowshoeing. We went up Little Cottonwood Canyon and found a trail and went for it. We decided to try the trail that goes up to White Pine Lake (about 4.1 miles.) We only made it halfway up though--it was getting late and it was looking like the snow was getting ready to fall--so we decided it would be safer to head back. But, we had a lot of fun as we went (and I only fell 5 times). Here's some shots from the day to show you how much fun it was!

And for the record--I have used my new snowshoes 3 times! I still need to use 'em more, so if anyone wants to go...invite me!

The map of the trail.

Bryant blazing the trail for me on the steep part--I thought I was going to fall off...
wait--I did slip here..

The spot where I fell...number 1

The bug that distracted me as I fell...why are bugs still alive out there?

The valley below! It looked beautiful from up here--I love the Oquirrh Mountains!

I like this shot of me! The lighting is neat!

Bryant blazing his own trail!

The trail we were following.

Some water we found. Not quite a lake--but it made us excited.

The view of our destination...

The part where I slid down the hill--on my bottom...it was efficient at least!
Until I hit the tree! Don't worry, it was a small one...
