Friday night after work we went on our first hike of the season - a lot of us used to hike together and it was so much fun getting together and doing this again. It's my first hike in about 2 years. It was absolutely beautiful, perfect weather, and today, Sunday - 2 days later I can hardly move...:-) But that's ok - it's all worth it. It just means that I need to get going and get back into my exercise routine. Hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we did taking them.
Here we are at the trailhead - waiting for Maria - she's our newest hiker. These folks are the ones I used to hike with all the time. Left to right - Carol, Rex, Diana, me. Amber commented that she wasn't really fond of my smile - I had no idea Bill was taking that picture - not sure what it was I was doing or thinking.
Taking a break standing on the little bridge over the creek (or crick as Utahans seem to want to call them)
Such a pretty stream (crick)
Looking over the Ogden/Bountiful Valley and all the way up to Salt Lake
Here is the gang -Carol, Rex, Diana, me and Maria in front
Bill and me standing on rock with valley behind us.
First waterfall sighting. I didn't make it all the way - within about 50 yards - my thighs and left knee gave out on me. It was a bit of a rough walk down the hill - it's a lot more painful. But I made it all in one piece - and I'd do it again tomorrow if my knee would allow me to!
