November Hikes

Don't let the lack of posts fool you into thinking we've stopped hiking. No way! We've been busy alright enjoying our Fridays and spending time together. Here's a quick November update.



Our most recent hike, Nov. 16, was more of a 3 mile walk each way. We walked the North Logan Canal Trail to Sharon's house. Once there, we enjoyed hot chocolate with yummy cookies and brownies. Sharon has a beautiful home and we loved spending time there. In fact, we almost spent more time sitting around her kitchen counter chatting than we actually did walking. None of us seemed to mind however. We are definitely making this adventure a tradition! It's perfect for those days when it's too muddy to hike in the mountains and yet there's not enough snow to snowshoe.

Speaking of snow...
 Friday, November 9, was our first cold snowy day. But the snow doesn't scare us. We decided it was a perfect day to walk the River Trail. And walk it we did. We may have been a little cold and slightly wet but, we didn't mind. 

Not all the ladies could join us this day but, those who did had a great time.

See that white stuff on the mountain? Yep, we love the first snow fall.

We love ALL the snow that falls. It means snowshoeing is coming soon!

On November 2, we hiked Leatham Hollow.

It was a nice hike with gentle climbing in mild November temperatures. Most of the leaves had fallen, the colors subdued but there was still much beauty to be found.

We encountered snow in the upper elevations.

We stopped for a rest in what might be the creek bed for next spring. 

This shows the nice trail and gentle climb that we enjoyed for at least half of the hike. 

Looking down Leatham Hollow and, in the distance, Blacksmith Fork Canyon. If you look carefully you can see the window reflection of one of our cars parked at the trail head.

Here is the destination, the other end of Leatham trail near the top of Millville Canyon.
