Today found us playing some more up American Fork Canyon! It's amazing how close we live to such a gorgeous canyon. We were going to do the Silver Lake hike but none of the books we read about it in mentioned that the dirt road to get there is pretty rocky and bumpy. After a few good scrapes, we turned around and found another hike. I love the top picture because you can see Tommy's dandelion that he held the whole time! Tommy loved riding in his "piggyback" and daddy sure got a workout hauling him AND our lunch and other gear in the pack as well. It felt great! We love being in nature and listening to the noises, the running water, all the birds, and especially the occasional car passing by on the Alpine Loop highway (okay, not so much the cars). Jonas slept most of the time in his snuggli with Alice. If anyone has a 4WD or slightly higher clearance vehicle (Jeep or something) and would like to do a beautiful hike to a high Alpine Lake, let us know and we'd love to bum a ride with you! The hike is Silver Lake in American Fork Canyon (google it for pictures) and is only a 2 to 3 hour hike, but gorgeous! We love going up the Canyon and have an annual pass, so if anyone wants to go for free, just let us know and we can tag along and get you in!
