Rock Canyon Hike


This weekend we went to a new place for some exploration. It's a canyon only 20 minutes from our house in Provo, just above the BYU campus. It has the most amazing geology. There are several different kinds of formations visible including deposits from the Mississippian Sea, Lake Bonneville, and the Wasatch Fault Line.

Sara took in all the hiking action even more so this trip because we faced her outwards in her baby carrier. We thought she wouldn't be able to hold her head up this way but luckily we decided to try and she did just fine (Dan said she was probably counting the rocks). She was totally happy to be looking around at everything until you stop walking and then she would fuss.

We hiked up the trail maybe 2 or so miles until the snow got too deep to walk in. We even stopped and had a picnic at the top of the trail.

She looks so content in her carrier, out hiking with Mom and Dad:)

Too bad she usually has her eyes
shut !

What a life! Two great parents that just carry you around to see the sights. There's no way she won't love the outdoors!

Don't miss it in the fall either, Sara. Will be harder to sleep through! KP

I can't believe you can walk in snow with shorts and a T-shirt.

Tina ALWAYS steals my comments!

I was going to ask if Dan had read the wrong weather forecast for the day. Brrrrr!
