We decided to go on a family hike this past Saturday. We chose the Crimson Trail in Logan Canyon. We had never gone on it before and were excited to try it out. It also looped back around to the Riverside Trail you could take on the way back instead of turning around and going back the way you came. So we were excited to try two new trails. It was about 5 miles round trip. At least half of the 5 miles was in a climb or descending down the mountain. We saw 2 snakes...one of which was a rattle snake. They were fun to see out in their natural setting. They were just off to the side of the trail. We were never in any danger. We also saw chipmunks and lots of bugs! The kids were troopers. Katie only had to be carried for a few minutes here and there. We had a great time. Beautiful views from the tops of the cliffs and enjoying each others company in nature...what could be better?! The pictures are out of order....sorry!
