We went to look at the fall leaves on the 22nd. We drove up the canyon and this is what we found…
Don’t be fooled. There were like three trees with pretty leaves! I guess we were a little late this year! Whoops
The rest looked like that. But we were also here to hike Scout Falls on Mount Timp.
Oooooh look. We found a couple colored leaves.
Forgot a coat for Sadie. Rats.
We did find some ice though. That was exciting. It was a bit chilly.
And then we saw the people who passed us coming back down the trail. They said there was a adolescent moose walking down the trail. We went and hid in the bushes hoping he would walk right past us. He hear us and Scout was making a racket so he decided to ditch the trail.
Here are the really pretty trees we found in super zoom.
Right when we got to this point we hear some people yelling at us to stop. They said there was another moose on the trail shortly ahead of us. Apparently this one decided it was a good time to take a nap. haha
Matt tried to howl and yell at it to move but to no avail.
The girls and I climbed up the path so if it did move we wouldn’t get attacked. Neither girl was thrilled with this though and since the moose didn’t seem to want to move we decided to bail on the hike. Better luck next time I guess!
We had to take a couple pictures before we left. I kept looking behind me though to make sure it wasn’t coming towards us.
This little girl did not walk a ton but she was cute! The scenery was so pretty!
This little girl kept trying to rip her hat off. She refuses to wear one.
So pretty up there!
We had a good walk down the mountain. It was fun, even if we didn’t get to our destination. But we had a great time seeing the Mooses!
Your girls are sooooo cute!! Too bad about the leaves! We had a retreat for work and all the employee's flew in from various locations. We went on a hike to show them how beautiful Utah was and the leaves were pretty much gone. Not as bad as you had it, but close! It was sad because I wanted to show off Utah.
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you saw a moose too! That made is all worth it, I am sure!
Glad you had fun. :D
