Bonneville Shoreline Trail



I found the funnest place, and so close to home. Rob and I drove around for a while trying to find the head of the trail, and finally found our way onto a trail.

The wind was crazy hard, but it was so fun. There were hardly any people up here and it was a fairly easy hike. When we rounded the top we could see our house, or at least Foxboro way down below. From the other direction you could see Salt Lake City. So pretty. We only hiked in a mile. We didn't bring any water so we headed back. I plan on coming again to go all the way to Salt Lake. It is going to be fun.














You can see Salt Lake from here.
















Look close, you can see Foxboro.
And of course, Rob is checking out the bugs along the trail :)

Finally......I've Started






I was finally able to start my hikes. I went to Antelope Island on the Mountain View Trail. This trail is along the west side of the island and gives a spectacular view of the mountains. The weather was amazing today, about 60 degrees with slight breeze. We only went for 1 mile and then I started feeling it, but I can't get myself down. It was a great start. The family went with me and it was nice to purge some of the pent up energy from my spring fever!!!!!

Finally......I've Started

Mountain View Trail. This is actually a 11.5 mile trail along the west shoreline of the Great Salt Lake on Antelope Island. We started down by the Garr Ranch and headed out. The weather was absolutely beautiful. It was around 60 degrees with a slight breeze. Spring fever so bad. The family came with me and I started out very anxious to get going. We walked for a while, then I started to feel it in my feet and my back and hip. I thought for sure we had walked a mile, but when we looked at where we had been in was only a half a mile. Arghh. I really need to work up to my long hikes I will be taking. We walked in and then out, so I have the first mile under my belt. That's good though. March 11th, and I'm starting out easy. I need to start some time. It was a beautiful day, and my family was with me. Who could ask for more?!

Late Start

Winter returned and I didn't get started on my hikes. Tomorrow the weather will be nice, but I don't know what I'll be able to do. Trying to get some hiking in. Hope for the best!

Co-Hikers

So, the weather is looking better and I'm recruiting companions. Bonnie wants to join me and I know Rob is going to go along too. I can't wait. Hopefully tomorrow we can get a mile or two down under my belt.
