A Hiking We Will Go

I really wanted to get one more hike in before we head out of Logan with our U-Haul loaded and our bags packed.  Luckily I had two sisters and a great friend (pretty much a sister, herself) who were willing to join me on a rather marvelous morning hike on Saturday.  We drove to Blacksmith Fork Canyon and turned up Left Hand Fork where we embarked up the mountain on the lovely Leatham Hollow Trail.  

Total distance according to Jim S in the Blue Bible: 7.4 miles
Total distance according to my pedometer: 10.21 miles
Total hiking time: ~4 hours
Total hiking buddies: 4 - Heather, Megan, Sarah and Kim
Total tissues used because of allergies and colds: half a roll of TP
Total red leaves seen along the trail: millions
Total tears shed because we were laughing too hard: numberless



These cliffs always remind me of the Salt Lake
Temple.  And those clouds you see?  Totally
and completely real!


First glimpse of Leatham Hollow Spring,
hence the name of the trail.


We hiked way above the spring.





Our lunchtime view of Hyrum and the Wellsvilles.




In a word: Glorious!

  1. Those cliffs do look like the Temple! Beautiful pics. I'm sure you're going to miss your home, family, and friends so much!
