Memorial Cove

There is this fun little cove in Corner Canyon that I've been wanted to take my girls to. It's an out and back 1.5 mile hike round trip.  When you get to Memorial Cove there is a super cool teepee made out of tree limbs.  It's quiet and shady and just right for little legs.  My son even agreed to come along with us, so we had the whole gang, minus my husband.  My girls were itching to hike ever since we got them new hydration packs last weekend.  It was super fun and even my youngest is starting to really enjoy hiking up!  We hiked up and then rested at Memorial Cove before running down!  Fun, fun!

My gang!


Miniature mountain wranglers!





Yes, that large man is my child.  *sigh*  Yes, I'm older than you think.

Look at that little beauty!  When she put on her pack and visor she said, "I'm like a mini Mom!"  Heart.  Melted!











I wonder where she gets it?







I made those people!


 
Even if my kids don't grow up to be trail runners, I hope that I've given them a love of the outdoors and the mountains!  

Family Reunion Hike OR You're Going to Kill Them!

This past weekend, my husband's family came from all around the country for a family reunion in Park City.  Lucky us, we had by far the shortest and easiest travel and I was just as pleased with going to Park City as I would be going just about anywhere.  Of course, I had to get a little hiking in and so I invited all who wanted to join.  Surprisingly, I had four takers at 5:30am! My husband, Jeff, upon hearing I was taking his family for a hike/trail run said to me, "You're going to kill them!" C'mon Jeff, give me some credit, I'll take it easy on them! 

As close as we are to Park City, I haven't spent much time on the trails there.  It's hard to add the travel time, when I have equally awesome trails on our side of the range.  We headed out on our hike (with a teeny bit of running) and just explored.  We split into two groups and kind of just wandered the trails.  It was gorgeous and I enjoyed the company.  I'm really looking forward to Mid Mountain Marathon in September!

















Me, Abby (cousin) and Paul (Father in law) stop for the obligatory trailfie!







We did it!  (And no one died!)

3.5 miles
Just over an hour

Another little hike

One mile hike with the cutest hiker in town!

Nature's Playground

I love hiking with my kids.  My youngest especially loves hiking and always asks when we can hike to the peak.  I guess I'd better start getting her out there more so we can go to the top!
