Living Room

Yuck!  Only got one mile in and didn't even get to take some pictures.  The heat is just too much.  I turfed it coming down and scuffed up my leg.  Called the doctor about my dizziness and he said it's my blood pressure.  Sooooo, hiking when its cool, or wait until fall for the big hikes.  We'll just have to take this a day at a time.  When it's over 90 I just can't do the hiking!

Bonneville Shoreline Trail

Wow, Mid 90's and it was a little rough.  We hiked 5 miles today, but because it was getting late, and my blood pressure was sky high, we turned around before we made it the entire way.  I was bummed, but it turned out to be a good idea because we got back just before dark.  It was fun to see the sunset from above the city though. 

Vernal Utah

We made a quick trip for the weekend to Vernal, Utah. We chose to do a hike that is right in the middle of Dinosaur National Park.  It was so pretty and the weather was perfect also.  We went from flat sagebrush, to a sandy wash, then through red dirt , what they call the labrynth, then to a long walk across the ridge.  Then came the boulders and the slick rock.  There was so much variety in this hike and it made it so much fun!  We stopped halfway through for granola, and apple, and a drink of water, then continued on.  

Arches National Park

Wow, what a fabulous weekend.  For graduation I treated myself and the family to a weekend at Arches.  The park is so beautiful.  We went on just about every hike we could find and I packed up a whopping 10 miles.  I also got two large blisters on my feet.  I'm not sure how to fix this problem for the future, but I didn't let it stop me.  It mas so amazing!

Fremont State Park

On our way home from Arches, we stopped for just a few minutes to check out the museum.  While there we decided to go ahead and hike to a cave.  Add another two miles, and I'm a happy camper!  I'm gonna make this goal!

Salt Lake Cemetery

Wow, who would have thought that walking around the old Salt Lake City Cemetery would be such a workout.  I did about half a mile, but I was breathing so hard!  Found some cool markers though, and widdled down on my goal.

Temple Square

Okay, just a warning. Wearing new shoes is not a good idea when walking around. I got a blister from walking around downtown today. Oh well, the weather was gorgeous and the flowers were beautiful!
