Doughnut Falls hike

The most popular snowshoe hike in Big Cottonwood Canyon is to Doughnut Falls, up Mill D South Fork.   God gave us a sunny blue sky day and no clouds in the sky.   Everyone who came had a fun time.  
From the Big Cottonwood, you hike up Mill D South Fork up the road to the Doughnut Falls trailhead.   We followed the trail up; and on our way down we followed the mine road down.
