Utah Trip - More Utah Mountains

Hiking Timp was so much fun that Sasha and I went on several other hikes during my visit. I always try to immerse myself in the mountains, as much as possible, during my trips to Utah!Hiking the hills of Saratoga SpringsLittle critter we almost stepped onView of Utah LakeSaratoga Springs and Wasatch FrontLooking toward the Point of the MountainAfter visiting Sasha's new grandbaby Gwen, we explored the parks and trails around HighlandBeautiful Sasha and beautiful Highland Glen ParkThe pond in the parkBeautiful views from the parkWe 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)Murdock Canal trail that stretches from Highland along the bench to OremFrom there we took another trail to Art Dye Park in American ForkOn our way back to Highland we got caught in a microburst storm and were plummeted with sideways rain and hail!Highland mountains and storms behind usThe Highland mountains were so beautiful from afar we decided to hike up into them during another day hike!We decided to take the Three Falls Trail in AlpineViews of AlpineViews of the valley, Wasatch front and Utah LakeViews of Alpine and the top of DraperViews of Salt Lake valleyMore 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.Little cacti that hitched a ride on our shoesOn 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.Views of Alpine mtns and Timp behindGoing 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!
