Last Sunday, we decided that we wanted to go hiking...somewhere. Ash suggested a trail up the Little Cottonwood Canyon next to the ski resort we went to in December. After doing some research, I figured out that maybe wasn't the best idea since the webcam on the Alta ski resort website showed a pretty snowy picture. Yes, you heard me. Snow. Lots of it. Still. In June, for god's sake. So after talking Ash out of hiking in the snow with a baby...which, surprisingly (or not) did take some convincing...we decided we'd better do more of a city hike.
We headed north of downtown Salt Lake and hiked up Ensign Peak. The trail and mountain were the first climbed by Brigham Young and other pioneers as they settled the Salt Lake valley. The hike was classified as 'easy', but Ash & I were glad we didn't attempt a longer or more strenuous trail. I think hiking is definitely one of those things best eased into. Here are some pics from our jaunt up the mountain. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27437498@N04/
Enjoy!

We went hiking yesterday in Muir Woods and were EXHAUSTED by the "moderately strenuous" hike! It can be a serious workout as far as I'm concerned! Glad you guys had fun. :)
