All ready to go! The trail head was a gorgeous view of Mt. Timpanogos across the reservoir! From here, we hiked up to another lake, called Silver Lake.
Josh on the way up.
Silver Lake. We made it!
We decided that since we were celebrating our anniversary, we might as well go all out for dinner. So we packed in steaks, mashed potatoes, and green beans. We washed it down with Gatorade, and it was DELICIOUS! YUM.
This is what our feet looked like after the hike in. Eww.
At least we had sweet chaco tans...er um, I mean dirt lines...
The follow three pictures are a couple of shots of the lake. It was a beautiful place to be! It is amazing that we can drive like 45 min from our house and be in such an incredible place and have it practically to ourselves! We are blessed to live in Utah county. We love our mountains! The reflection makes the water really hard to see, but I promise it's there...
Off to start our hike on day 2. You'll have to excuse my asian eyes. It was little bright...
On day 2, we hiked up to a third lake called Glance Lake. It was pretty....but the name was accurate. You don't need more than a glance to take it all in. But...the views from up there were incredible! So worth the hike.
This is a waterfall that cascades off from Silver Lake where we camped. The picture below shows the stream before it falls off the cliff. So pretty!
It was our first night away from Avery, and we were both a little bit apprehensive about leaving her, but she did GREAT! She had a fun night with Grandpa Rex, and then got to go to Seven Peaks with Kiley the next day. We are blessed with wonderful family who loves Avery very much.
We are so grateful for our marriage and our time together. It was really nice to have 24 hours completely to ourselves. Who knows, maybe this will be the start to a great new tradition!
