Flowers (I think Indian Paintbrush) on the trail.I don't know how I got this picture, but I was happy with how it turned out with the mountains softer in the background and the flowers kind of standing out in front. I want to learn some photography techniques, so if anyone has tips let me know.
Last night, Monday, June 15, 2009; Summer, Whitney and I joined my brother's family and my parents for a family home evening hike up Indian Trail in Ogden. I have ran and hiked a lot of the trails in the Ogden foothills, but I have never been on the Indian Trail. IT IS SO PRETTY! (Have I mentioned before how much I love being in the mountains, they are so pretty!) Indian Trail climbs high above the Ogden Canyon road. Now is the perfect time to go because it is so green from the rain we have been deluged with the last couple of weeks.
We did have a slight detour when we got off of the trail and ended up doing a little more rock climbing than hiking, so we back tracked a little and found where we strayed. My parents and I turned around with Whitney, Summer and my niece Grace, while my brother and the rest of his family finished the hike to get the truck that we shuttled to the end of the trail.
We are going to do this for Family Night for a while, so if anyone has suggestions for trails, I'd love to hear your recommendations.
This is Ogden Canyon looking east from a view on the hike.
These are the troopers: from left my nephews Jacob, Cade, my niece Grace, Summer and Whitney.
This was one of the many breaks we took to chow on some candy that Grandma brought.
