I haven't spent any time posting lately so I'm trying to make up for it a bit. This will just be a short list of the many hikes we've done from spring-fall. We've been committed to doing about 2 per week and it's been good for the soul. We live at the base of Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons so it makes it easy.

Let me know if you have questions about any of the hikes and I'll share more. Sorry for the watermarks, but I exported these a while ago.

Hike directly from our house in Cottonwood Heights. I'm shooting SL Twin Peaks and overlooking Deaf Smith Canyon. Little Cottonwood in the distance.

This is near the empty development called Tavaci at the base of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Roads are in but no residents for years. There is a herd of about 30 deer that rule here

View from Silver Lake Flats, American Fork Canyon. Went to hike Silver Lake and Silver Glance Lake but apparently the trail has been closed since July for dam repair. Sucks.

I did a few hike this summer and definitely want to go back and explore more of the area.
There are so many great places that are still on my bucket list for the future
