DAY FIVE
Since they are just 2 blocks, literally,
from the base of the mountain range that runs along the eastern border of Ogden, Utah, Wasatch-Cache National Forest, we
decided this day
would be spent hiking up
the trails ... headed to a beautiful waterfall hidden except to
hikers.
Dang if that altitude thing didn't make it impossible for me to make all of those 10-15% grades up to the
waterfall (no dizziness or nausea, just felt like I couldn't breathe) ... I
made it about 3/4 of the way and I just couldn't take any more. Not
wanting to stop hiking though, we instead decided to hike off in a different
direction, less of those steep inclines but still high up onto the mountainside
where we overlooked the cities of Ogden and Salt Lake City and could also see
Salt Lake (the lake) in the distance ... it was beautiful and what an awesome
hike!!!
Sorry, I think I may have duplicated a couple shots in these collages ... oops!
We saw all kinds of beautiful wild flowers
from, plentiful lavender to foxglove to all other kinds of plants and flowers, the names of which I don't know, but I
love nature!!! We took PLENTY (well almost, we really should
have taken more) water and snacks cause I gotta tell ya ... its dry out there
... hubby and I constantly used our Carmex while out
west!!!
Coming up
for the next post ~ Antelope Island
in the middle of Salt Lake (the lake, not the city lol)
STAY
TUNED!!!
