Summer of Trails: Part 2

Before we end the summer, we have been trying to sneak more time in on the trails.  We had a great time hiking up to Lake Mary at Brighton as a family one Sunday.  The girls were troopers because this one was a little steeper than the other hikes we've done this summer.

 Once we got to Lake Mary, Piper was a little angry.  She was chasing squirrels, but they wouldn't let her catch them, and there just weren't enough of them.  Bummer!!

Later that week, Brynn and I went back up for a long run in the mountains.  We did a fun loop course that started at Alta, ran up Grizzly Gulch and Twin Lakes Pass through Solitude to Brighton, then up to Lake Mary, Catherine, Catherine's Pass, and back down to Alta.  Three ski resorts, 10 miles, and about 2700 feet of climbing.  Super fun morning.

The Summer Fun Continues

Summer is still flying by with lots and lots of fun.

Rebecca, Anna and Andrew came down and we had fun at the Museum of Natural Curiousity at Thanksgiving Point.

We had a great time hiking up at Alta with Brynn and Emery.  We made it to Cecret Lake the long way, which ended up being about 4 miles roundtrip.  Little troopers!

 Nana came to visit for a week and we had a great time staying up at the Canyons with the Jones crew.

 Here is sunrise over the Park City mountains seen on my trail run up to mid mountain.

 We decided to go for more hiking with Brynn and Emery - this time up to the Bells Canyon Reservoir.  There were some skinned knees this time, but still lots of fun and a beautiful afternoon.

 Brynn and I went on our own trail adventure with a ten mile roundtrip run/hike up to White Pine Lake in Little Cottonwood Canyon.  It was absolutely beautiful up there.

 Fizz Fest here in Daybreak at SODA row.  Face painting, rock climbing wall, and ice cream!

 Piper learned how to ride a two-wheeler!

 We had fun hanging out with the Larsens and the girls had a blast with their old buddy Olivia.

 More cousin fun with Riley and Mia over for dinner while Nana was in town.

Summer of Trails

I've been having lots of fun this summer running trails...mostly on Sunday mornings with Brynn and sometimes Brooke joins us.  I've also signed up for some trail races.  It's a fun, different challenge and a great way to get out and see our beautiful mountains.

This was up in Millcreek canyon at Dog Lake/Lake Desolation.

After running a 5K trail race out in Herriman during which is rained buckets.  I slipped and slid my way through.
