Hikes with Julie

We did a few good hikes this year.  Julie and I have been hiking since Tyler was a newborn.  He is 9 now.  9 years of hiking almost every week in the summer means a lot of hikes!  We had to scale back a lot this summer.  Shorter hikes, less elevation ... keep it simple.  The first hike we did to an overlook was tough.  Spencer and Abby are not light anymore.  It was too long and too steep for them.  We loved the rainbow striations in the rocks when we got up high.  We found our friend Ms. LaPriel had died the morning of this hike.  My kids have been going in to read to her for about 5 years.  They loved it.  She always made sure their pockets were full of goodies before they left.  

I have never see the waterfall at the bottom of this trail.  It is Mill B North.  

Another week we hiked to the suspension bridge in Draper.  It was just finished.  A few weeks later we hiked to the suspension bridge from the other way.  We had a big group that day.
