Ever have one of those days that leaves a completely contented feeling in your soul? Well, today was like that. Getting up early and relaxing with our Sunday morning ritual of good coffee and the Sunday paper, then a great breakfast at our favorite local diner. Home by 9:00 a.m with tim
e to get some work around the house done before it's time to "play". A little yard work, a little house work, just enough to give one the feeling of satisfaction that something was accomplished. Afterward, Rich went off on his training day - a long ride and a run,
and I went off on my hiking day, a perfect day to hike with friends. The sky was magnificently blue and the sun shining at a very warm and pleasant temp of around 50 (I'm guessing), just perfect for hiking. Amy, Gloria and I headed out for a hike, we were extremely excited because it was one that we hadnt done before, well, at least not all of it. Amy, Rich and I snowshoed some of this trail last winter but strayed from the actual tr
ail so it was a new experience for us this time. We did about 8 miles from Butler Fork to Dog Lake, then backtracked a little to branch out on Mill A toward Gob
bler's Knob and looped back to the beginning. We began going up very steep, as is typical for the Wasatch, then entered a gully that took us toward Dog Lake, through beautiful pine forest. On the way back from the lake, we veered off and Mill A took us around a huge bowl, through Aspen forests, it was really, really cool. We then ended up on the other side of the bowl, back in the pines and snow and made our way back to the junction with Butler Fork and out. It was an incredibly fun hike to do, lots of different scenery and trail. A truly awesome day.
