Trip to Heaven

Emy couldn't make the LIVING ROOM hike this morning; but decided it was more fun to go to doggy heaven. 

She had fun leading our Snow Dogs hikes and other Millcreek Canyon adventures.

Ensign Peak

What a great day to be Outdoors with Jesus!
DESCRIPTION:  This is a short hike up to a historic overlook with great views of the Salt Lake Valley.  Begin the hike at Ensign Peak Nature Park.   Hike straight up the trail.  Take the short trail to the Amphitheater and enjoy the scenery.  Then continue to the top.  On the way back take the path to the Vista Mound.

Avenue Twin Peaks

We enjoyed a hike up to Twin Peaks from the Perry Hollow trailhead and saw great views of the Salt Lake Valley.   The weather was cool and sunny today and a fun day to fellowship with friends.
