Hiking Outing #1

Katie and I decided we'd like to go on multiple hikes this summer. Today with the beautiful weather we're having, we finally made it out. The mountains behind my house have multiple trails. I had heard that there was a waterfall up there and we decided to try to find it.

Katie and Dingo

this picture was taken after Katie jumped about two feet in the air when she saw she was about to step on a stink bug. in her defense, it was definitely one of the largest nasty stink bugs I've ever seen.

sorry it's fuzzy, it was hard to take a good picture because the sun was glaring on it

I like the trees against the sky

the Draper temple

for some of the hike, we were where we could see all three temples in the area - Draper, Jordan River, and Oquirrh Mountain


this was the only waterfall we ended up seeing
we think the falls may have been where no dogs were allowed
(different trails that branched off didn't allow dogs or horses)
this waterfall was in the landscaping of a home right by the trailhead
