So our new favorite activity after school is to go on an adventure. Riley, Kendall and I have been into hiking lately. I just got a new pack pack carrier for the this very purpose. We've been getting our money out of it so far. The leaves are starting to change colors and it's so beautiful just getting to the trails! We've hiked in Big Cottonwood Canyon at Brighton's Silver Lake, at The Canyons in Park City as well as on the trails of the foothills in our town. I am so fortunate that Riley loves to go hiking as much as I do. With Andy traveling so much these days, it gives us something to look forward to every afternoon. Andy hasn't done any hiking with us as of yet...maybe we can change that this weekend. Yesterday and today's temps are in the high 80's but we're in for a rude awakening tomorrow...high of 52, chance of rain in the valley and snow on the mountains to 5,000 feet...that's almost to the valley floor...Kendall might get to see her first snow fall!
Here are some pictures of our beautiful landscape.
This is from the foothills in Draper.
Taking a necessary water break. Hiking in Draper means same warm temps, not cool mountain air!
The aspens are starting to turn yellow now and are just beautiful.
This is a picture of Riley inside a bobsled at The Canyons Resort near Park City.
More beautiful aspens.
My new hiking partner off to look for moose! No such luck!
Along the meadows on the trail.
Riley loves to climb on to boulders and then jump off!
This trail looks so inviting...We've got to take a closer look.

Love all your pics...it's just beautiful! It looks like you're making every minute count. Love and miss you guys!
I don't know how far you are away from Provo but there is a trail up to the "Y" that my friends hike. Loralee could probably tell your more about it or Patti.
It was actually "fall like" today, we went to the park in Waterleaf and it was absolutely perfect weather. I love the fall! I know Loralee has taken her family to the Timpanogas caves too. If I was there I'd hike with you, my kids love to hike. Heather took us on a trail somewhere over by her house last spring break and the kids thought it was the greatest thing.
