Catherine Pass Again

We've been up Catherine Pass trail many times.
It's especially nice right now with the wildflowers still in bloom.



I liked these rocks:





At the top of the pass we sat on a rock and ate apples.
These are the flowers in front of me:






One of the chipmunks brave enough to come close:





For a little while Joe moved down to a rock below me:





Flowers and a small lake:






It was so pretty up there that it was almost hard to go home.
Tonight we will have dinner with our son and daughter- in- law at their condo.
I like Saturdays.

Free Pony rides:




Displays:





Hooray for shade. It's at least a 100 degrees outside:




The park was filled with many attractions.

Did you have a good Saturday too?

Cecret Lake Is No Secret

This is a nearby and easy hike.




To escape people, we did the usual climb up the ridge beyond the lake:






Once over the ridge it's level.







We are slowly getting back into hiking mode.

Albion Basin Flowers And My Dad

Today I went with my folks to get a burger, and then we drove up Little Cottonwood Canyon to see the wildflowers.


In the winter this is dads favorite skiing area.
Now it's filled with flowers:

Yellow fields:











We could still see waterfalls coming down the mountainside. It's a pretty time of year.
P.S. Happy Birthday to my daughter, Susan, in Arizona!!

Soon after seeing the Beaver, we stopped and watched four Moose.







We watched from a distance with several other people.
When we got home, Aaron shot off some fireworks in front of the house.

Oakley Rodeo

On July 3rd we went to the Oakley Rodeo.
We sat on the North side this year.









 It ended with a short fireworks show:
