One fun filled week!

A few weeks ago my parents came up for a quick visit and we decided it would be fun to go hike up to Mesa Falls. I'd heard somewhere that if you park at the lower falls there is a trail that takes you to the upper falls. When we got there we saw that the trail just goes right along the road and then eventually connects with the road so we decided it wasn't really worth it and just drove instead.


It was absolutely gorgeous and had plenty of water like always!




At the end of the weekend I decided to go back to Utah with my parents and stay the week. While I was down my mom, Alex and myself went and hiked Mt. Timpanogus (not sure of the spelling). We sorta got a late start so we only made it up to the lake. Now I keep trying to convince Mitch to go back down and hike all the way to the top with me but we shall just have to see.


This was the view of the mountain as you are driving up. It looked quite intimidating.

Alex and me at one of the first waterfalls.



It was such a beautiful hike. I had never seen so many waterfalls and wild flowers on one hike.

And yet another waterfall.



Just over this little hill is the lake and I really just about died trying to get up it. The elevation was just a little too much. The other rock in the background is the actually summit which is where I still want to go.


Mom and Alex at the lake. In the background you can see the glacier that you slide down once you make it to the top :)


Just look how high we are and yet it still wasn't quite to the top.


There are even wild mountain goats at the lake. When in your life have you seen those just wandering around. Hopefully in a few weeks I will have another picture from the actual summit!
