Bell Canyon Hike

My favorite memories, from last summer, are of the hikes we went on.  I really love hiking and the boys love it too.  It's just fun to get outside and do something active.  Utah has so many hiking spots.  I felt a little overwhelmed trying to pick a place to go.

 Bell Canyon has a reservoir and waterfalls.  We decided to just hike to the reservoir--just under a mile away.  The trail there was mostly uphill with a lot of rocks.  The boys loved climbing over the rocks.  Joey had an exaggerated grunt with the majority of rocks he climbed over :)  It was totally do-able for little kids.  It was work and mom and dad had to help a bit, but it was a fun trail.

 starting out

It has rained the night before so temperatures were nice and cool when we started.  It even sprinkled a bit and that felt great.

 

We made it to the reservoir!  I'm still in awe of the mountains after living away from them.  They are so beautiful.

"I'm king of the waterfall!!!"

We took a long break and snacked on trail mix up at this point.  Charlie was "King of the Waterfall" (not sure where he got that from) and Joey dug in the sandy dirt with a stick.  

On our way back, Charlie asked if we could buy one of the homes close to the trailhead, "so we can go hiking every day!"
