Can't waste a good day

It's a perfect Saturday with blue sky and comfortable temps.
We heard that on Monday it could rain. On Tuesday it may even snow a little.
It was enough to get us moving again.


We spent about 4 hours out on some easy trails:




These pics were taken at the end of our walk.








When we got home I made some wild rose hip tea. It smells like strawberries.

Corner Canyon

The Corner Canyon area is in Draper. Most of the trails through here are super smooth and easy.
I recommend the South side of the canyon. It's the prettiest. There's lots of shade and several bridges.



Here are some of the bridges:










3 deer:

If you want a very pleasant walk with little effort this is a good place.

Autumn

We  tromped up a nearby hill to see Autumn color.
Our actual house is in very boring suburbs, but a brief 10 minute drive gets us to a trail head:









The best things in life are free.
P.S. Columbus Day? I think I support 'Indigenous Peoples Day'  (Now that I've studied history)

A Family Gathering

My sister, Robin, and her husband, Richard, were in town.
They live in California.





Many of us made it to mom and dads house today.
We are a noisy and sociable group:





Someday we will get everyone together!! But this was pretty good.
