We took the park trail to the Murdock Canal trail (where I used to four-wheel and ride my friend's horse bareback, before the canal was buried)

More mountains and trails to climb behind me (that eventually connect to the Timpooneke trail) but we ran out of time since Sasha had to get back to pick up her kids from school. This was a beautiful spot for more picture taking and for us to eat our packed lunches.

On our way back down we got lost because there were so many different trails to take, luckily Sasha got signal long enough for the gps to guide us to our car.

The clearing half way up the mountain is where we stopped to eat lunch and take all the pics.

Going back down to the valley. I'm so glad Sasha could be my little hiking buddy and I can't wait to discover more trails and beautiful views with her during my future trips to Utah!
