Stewart Falls

This morning, we went on a hike to Stewart Falls. The trailhead starts at the same parking lot for the first Timpanogos trailhead, and today was a beautiful day for hiking. The weather was perfect--super cool, cloudy with mist/occasional rain and low-lying clouds that came across the mountains. It was so pretty. I think today was the most beautiful hike I've ever been on. Chad went a couple weeks ago with some guys in his elders quorum, and then he took me and Emmett today. Oh, and the leaves are changing like crazy up in the mountains. Basically, it was the perfect hike. And Emmett was great for most of it. It was four miles round-trip, so it was the longest hike he's been on. 

My sister made his hat! I think I need one now :)

Stewart Falls!

Can you find Chad?

Emmett was done with pictures at this point.

 

I love it when the clouds are so low.

So there you go. It was gorgeous and I'm so glad we went. Monday mornings are great for hikes, btw. We didn't see anyone else on the trail until we were leaving the falls to come back down. That was really nice :) OH! And we heard an elk! An elk!!!! It was so cool. It called 11 times. Probably lookin' for a girl. It was so neat. It was to our left (on the way back down) and just on the other side of a high ridge from what we could tell. 

Anyway, have a great day!
