Secret Hike

  From a friend at work, my daughter found out about this wonderful hike that is less than ten minutes from our home, very near Mt. Olympus. Apparently, there is a waterfall at the top, but we didn't go that far. It was like walking into a fairy world-- so beautiful, with tons of butterflies, some wildflowers, and a stream. Yes, there were bugs and mice and a snake in the middle of the residential road on the way up to the trail head, but no other people. No dog mess like up Ferguson Canyon. Not much evidence of human presence. It's not a well-known hike. It's not in our hiking book or on any of the hikes you can easily find if you Google hiking in Utah. In fact, it might actually be private property. I need to do more research. So if you want to know where it is and what it's called, I'll have to e-mail you. It was a spontaneous and very fun thing to do and an absolutely perfect day to do it. Moments like these make me thankful for life and this earth. I continue to be surprised by and in awe of its beauty.
