Mothers Day found us in Logan Utah visiting Krista, Karen's daughter. They have a tradition of going on a hike on Mother's Day so Krista took us up the canyon behind Logan for a hike on the Crimson Trail. This trail climbs up out of the canyon and follows the top of a cliff and ends up down in a campground about 3 miles from the beginning. The limestone cliffs are quite precipitous but the trail is located well back from the edge most of the way. There were a few spots that gave Krista, who is afraid of heights, a scare as she walked by them.
The scenery was beautiful and it was a fairly nice early spring day with the flowers starting to bloom and the trees coming out. The creeks are running good with runoff from a good snow pack in the higher country. I'll be down here in a few weeks riding my bike on some trails while Karen and Krista are in Alaska, I can't wait!
In this last picture, Logan is out there at the end of the canyon and
the river down there is the Logan River and looks quite fishy to me.So we had a great time and had a fantastic day out in the wild, which was something I had been needing for some time now.
