Big Spring Hike

One Friday I was feelin' particularly couped up in the extra small apartment so as soon as it stopped raining I said bye to L'Anita, who was working on another long paper and Abby and I went looking for a hike. This one was in Provo Canyon, down the road by Vivian park (South Fork?). We hiked for over two hours and had a great time. It was fun to see what the other side of the mountains that we look at every day look like.

This is the view on the way in. We actually made it pretty far up, passed where the mountain on the left descends into the canyon. I really wish that we could have gone farther, but the sun was setting on us and dinner & bedtime were calling. Maybe another day.

Abigail tried out her hiking legs on this one. It was nice because it is not as rocky as Rock Canyon. She's not intimidated by the steep hills.

This is the view heading back to the car.

Abby was really good. We stopped several times to eat granola bars and to chew on rocks and other interesting things we found. Life doesn't get much better! Hopefully a long tradition of daddy-daughter dates like this will follow.
