Saturday we went hiking again. And we had a terrific time.
It never ceases to amaze me how we can live only 20 minutes from some of the most amazing scenery and hiking in the world, and on a Saturday morning run into only 2 other hikers on the trail.
Our destination was Willow Lake, up Big Cottonwood Canyon. The weather was perfect, the aspen were quaking in the breeze and the wild flowers were just coming into bloom. Oh, and here and there islands of snow still glistened in the sun - much to the boys' delight!
The boys scurried up the 800-foot (344-meter) incline (to about 8,500 feet /2,590 meters) like a couple of mountain goats! I tell ya, those boys are Arcadians!
Best of all, not a single tree leech to be seen!
