Is Summer Really Over?

Even though there is a "fall" wreath on our door and Erik is fully enjoying football season, we are in total denial that summer is finally over. We BBQ every chance we get and last week we went on another hike. On Thursday, we drove up to Kaysville and hiked through Adams Canyon.

It was a new hike for both of us and the scenery was amazing. Parts of the hike were steep and very rocky and we quickly realized how out of shape we are. Khloe spent the way up in her doggy backpack but on the way back, she walked the whole way. I was nervous about her navigating through some of the rocky areas but her little paws got down much easier than we did.
After about an hour of hiking through the canyon, we reached a gorgeous 40 foot waterfall. It was a wonderful way to spend our afternoon.
My appreciation for what Utah has to offer continues to grow year after year. Hopefully next summer we can go on many more hikes and even venture out on our first camping trip together.

Yes, Utah has a lot of beautiful country! I can't wait to hike when we get home. Here, on the island, after you've been on one hike, you've pretty much seen it all. It is beautiful, though.
