On a much more positive note than yesterday, I got out for a great hike with my best friend today. It was a gorgeous day, not a cloud in the sky. We hiked up White Pine trail in Little Cottonwood Canyon, UT (and yes it killed me to be there and NOT climb, lol!).
Pre-Hike Picture
Our goal was to get to the lake but when we reached mile 2.45 we lost all trace of the trail in the snow. However, we weren't dissapointed! We decided to just to relax a bit before our hike back down, it was so nice just to *breathe* the amazing mountain air. I made a snow angel and my bestie and I made a snowman. It was great!
Snow Angel!
Our Snowman :)
The hike was absolutely gorgeous. The trail was almost entirely covered with snow after the first half mile but we kept going and didn't have any issues til we lost the trail. On our hike down we decided to keep acting like kids and run! We ran everywhere we could (and some places we probably shouldn't have, lol). We splashed in puddles and ran thru the running water (it was like a waterfall on the trail.). It was amazing, we're already planning our next adventure. Here's some more pictures from today. Enjoy :)
The crazy high river rushing down

Beautiful Blue Skies
What most of the trail looked like...

Reached an elevation of 8,627 ft before we turned around.

The sunburn...
And more of the sunburn...
Who wants to come rub aloe on my back, lol?
Do you have anything fun planned for the summer?

yikes! What a sunburn!!! Looks like you had an awesome time though, and how beautiful was the scenery!? Loved the pics!
So glad you made it back up to the mountains for a successful hike! Looks like you guys had a blast. I think I've only done one hike in LCC..otherwise it's been limited to climbing. I'll have to check this one out!
So crazy that there is still SO MUCH snow. I love all of the pictures and am so glad you enjoyed an awesome hike.
I love love love summer. So many fun plans and just simply basking in the sun and relaxing are on the agenda. :)
Um. So I am just realizing that you live in Utah. ME TOO! :) I am totally loving all of your pictures. I LOVE hiking, and I hope I can go very soon!
That looks like so much fun!!! Isnt that the second, almost identical sunburn you got this year?
Yes BDD... That is my second sunburn. You'd think I would've learned my lesson the first time right, lol?
I had so much fun that day. I think about it often too. I think running down the mountain and past all those people snow shoeing was my favorite part!
