Fall!

Fall has come to the Utah mountains early this year and it is beautiful! I swear I haven't seen leaves this red in a long time. Last year the leaves left something to be desired , but not this year. They are out in full bloom. So because my lovely spouse always bugs me when I suggest going for a hike I went to visit my family in Logan who are always up for a hike. 

The canyon was so pretty. I had to take some shots with my camera while driving. Yeah.....maybe not the best thing to do but. I couldn't help it. It was also a perfect day for a hike. Blue skies, warm, and delightful. 

Around every corner I was like.." Oh wow....that is great", after a while I had to just concentrate on driving. On my way back I saw so many people pulled over to the side of the road taking pictures. It was really pretty with the sun setting. 

When I got to my parents we left to go on a hike to Tony's Grove. That is a great place. It is great in all seasons except winter when you can't get there. It has the prettiest wildflowers in the summer and great leaves in the fall. We were just a little late for the bright yellow of the Aspens that are up there but it was still nice. I told my sister that I wouldn't be a wimp this time and it was a good normal hike. 

I went with my mom, sister, and her boyfriend. I forgot to take any pictures of the group. I need to get better then that. But we had lots of fun chatting, laughing, and enjoying the view. 

I am always amazed at how pretty nature is. How picture perfect is this view!? I am so grateful for such a beautiful place so close. As always we ended the hike with a shake from Charlie's yum. It's been a while since I've had one of those and they never cease to disappoint.=) It was a great day spent with my family and doing something fun since I had to work all the next day.
