Last weekend we hiked Moose Bogs (which begins at Granite Flat Campground) with Mom and Dad. I remember hiking this one a few times growing up. I was excited to see the pretty water falling on the rocks, walk on the soft "mattresses," search out the little spring that reminds us of Tuck Everlasting, and keep an eye out for a moose. No moose this time. But a highlight of the trip was riding our bikes home to Mom and Dad's from the trail head. Thanks for driving Julia back, Mom! It was an exhilarating ride.
We were excited to get out and hike this morning since we've been sick and cooped up most of the week. Our good friends the Lafaves told us of a little hike up Battle Creek Canyon in Pleasant Grove. It was a just lovely! (I am very surprised I've never heard of it before, having grown up in PG and all.) It is less than 2 miles roundtrip to the falls, which are beautfiul. The trail follows the water all the way up so you can get your feet wet and splash around whenever you want. (I can't wait to take my neices and nephews on this one. They will love playing in the water.) We highly recommend this hike. Next time we'll bring a picnic and eat it at the falls. Anyone is welcome to join us!
Below are more than enough pictures of both hikes and some of Julia playing in between.
