Last night after dinner, Trevor and I decided to go for a walk. We do this on a pretty regular basis. It gets me out of the house and away from homework and we get to spend some time together. Normally, we walk around Wymount and up around the temple. This time, we decided to do something different. On our little excursion, I was, by coincidence - wearing my practical footwear. AKA - my holey ballet flats. Anyway, we walked up past the temple to the Rock Canyon trailhead. We drove up there once, but haven't been back since. We discovered it really wasn't that far from where we lived! Within about a 25 minute walk, we were there exploring around. It was later in the evening so we caught some amazing views. I was disappointed that I didn't have my Nikon with me. So, alas, these pictures are from my phone. I was also surprised at the amount of wildlife we saw. A few days ago, I saw a deer outside my bedroom window, and on this trail we saw a lot of little bunny-like creatures and some ducks crossing the trails we walked on.
We finally had to call it quits and go home, both of our allergies started to act up and we couldn't stop sneezing! If you look in the picture below, you'll see a big green bowl like area. We walked from where this picture was taken, down the mountain, across the big green bowl and down the road to the temple and then into Wymount. It was quite the little hike we went on, but we sure did enjoy getting to know our surroundings a bit more. That big green bowl like area is a GIANT grassy field. The only real reason we could figure out why it was there is because there is a very large water tank up at the top, so assuming it broke, the water would have somewhere to go so it wouldn't flood the whole city.
What's interesting, is all this that we discovered last night was only one more road north from where we usually talk our walks. Interesting what you can discover when you mix things up a bit. :)
