Summer Fun

Now that our boys are getting older, we’ve been able to trade up our “family fun” hikes for more adventurous outings. Don’t get me wrong, we still love the relaxed feeling of taking a hike that is more about goofing off and less about staying on schedule so we can make camp.

Like our walk along the Pioneer Trail up Emigration Canyon.

The wildflowers are so beautiful this year. 

And the weather has been nice and cool.

That's our truck wwwaaayyy down there.

And the view from the top was pretty great.

Earlier this summer Shane, Perrin and I got to go on the 

Little Wild Horse/Bell Canyon Loop in the San Rafael Swell; 

an 8 mile hike thru two slot canyons. 

(Connor was at Grandma Jeanette's with a terrible sunburn)

It was a little late in the season to make this hike. 

In retrospect we should have gone in early spring 

or even early winter, and not in June. 

It was one heck of a hot day!

Hiking a slot canyon can be claustrophobic. 

A lot of the path was very narrow!

Looking up

Half way!

We ended the day with fresh limes
at The Grub Box in Ferron.
