Back it Up to June - Lisa Falls

Sometime in June while Mikey was still killing himself with full time work, two calc classes, and two science classes (oh, and being YM's Pres), the kids and I went with Emily to hike Lisa Falls up Little Cottonwood canyon.

The kids prepped with their hiking hats and sunscreen.


Unfortunately, some of that sunscreen made it into Lucy's eyes making her not a happy camper.

Before we located the trailhead, we ate some Subway in the back of our car and then the kids climbed on the rocks.


This was the day that the hiker nameage began. Avery gave each of us our very own hiker name. Avery is Smiley Hiker, Aidan is Fast Face, Emy is Hiker Em, Lucy is Hiker Baby, and I am Hiker Jazzy Jazz (I got to pick mine). We could only refer to each other by these names for the entire day and the names have been used on every hike since - gotta love Avery.

Emy got a nice shot of the canyon before we headed off.


This was seriously the shortest hike ever - we probably only took 5 (maybe 10?) minutes to reach the falls. Definitely worth it. After we finished the hike, we headed up to Snowbird and walked for a while on their paved trail that goes across their ski slopes. It was June and we had to turn back because there was too much snow.
