How far would you hike for a view like this? Well, if you're in Provo Utah, you don't have to hike very far at all. Saturday afternoon we wanted to get out into the great outdoors. This hike is just above the Provo Temple, so just a short drive from Diane's place.
We Three Kings of the Hill!
Such a cute couple.
One of the many nice bridges along the way. The river beds were completely dry, so the bridges were optional.
We hiked until we had snow underfoot and then headed back the way we came.
On the way down the trail Dennis spotted this little cave and decided we should check it out. No one else voluteered to risk going into that little dark cave, so the biggest among us did the dirty work.
Carson, fearing for his safety, or just wanting to be the first to know if anything exciting happened down there, was keeping a close eye on the situation.
Apparently things looked, and smelled, a little sketchy down there. You can get the full report from Dennis.
We were lucky enough to catch the sun casting its last light of the day upon the mountainside as we made our way to the trailhead. Gorgeous!
Eric took the dare to do a little free rock climbing. From me. Yah, he's brave.
And sure footed. Maybe it's those sturdy new hikers his dad picked up for him at the REI garage sale. Or maybe it's his crazy mountain goatlike skills.
Uh-mazing.
Love these warm beautiful colors. It was a lovely afternoon indeed.
