Hiking Season

It is nice that the weather is good enough to hike now. We have already gone on a couple hikes in our area this spring. Our first was on Memorial Day with my brothers. We decided to try out the Wild Rose Loop that afternoon, and while we were at it we did a section of the Chukkar Loop and went roughly half way along a trail that would have taken us to Ensign Peak. It was fun to hike and just to spend time with my brothers.

When we came back to the parking lot, we saw a mountain blue bird perched on the rear view mirror of a truck. For some unknown reason, the bird kept trying to fly into the truck through the passenger window. The window was up, so it hit the glass and flew back to perch on the mirror. It kept doing this over and over again.

This last weekend we took Austin hiking up Davis Creek to the first waterfall. We tried to do this hike last fall, but we went up the wrong trail. This hike turned out to be much steeper than I thought it would be, but Austin did a pretty good job all the same. He managed to climb up to the waterfall and back down with a little balancing help from us, at least when he wasn't busy pointing out every single rolly polly bug or beetle along the way...
