So I love hiking and this past summer I made it a point to do a little bit of it. Although I would have loved to do a little bit more. My friends and I (even Jeter my dog) got out to see some fun things. Amongst my hikes were, Mary's Lake (a classic favorite), Adam's Canyon (a new favorite) and Twin Peaks (a challenging and hellish favorite)! We had a blast.
As I hiked the wonderful Wasatch Mountains I was reminded of how incredibly blessed I am to live so near many beautiful places. Everywhere I went was no more than about a half an hour from my home. Utah really is a great state for those who love the great outdoors.
Some of the Highlights were the breath taking views at Mary's Lake and the beautiful waterfall at the top of Adam's Canyon. However nothing quite matched the majestic triumph of getting up Twin peaks and looking down as God seemingly small valley and surrounding mountains. I wont lie, I didn't quite make it to the top of the peaks but I came close. From where I was we had a nice view of the Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons and a glimpse of the Valley looking south. Due to lack of preparation the hike nearly killed most of us. Matter of fact, we owe my buddy Jared for the fact that we all got off safely. He was a real superman!
Below are some of the Pictures from my hikes and I hope that they don't stop there!

Man Clayson that looks like so much fun! I am so glad we are not Bloggin buds! Did you taste the waterfall???
Achei ótimo você publicar as maravilhas do teu país assim. São presentes de Deus e só os abençoados com sabedoria enchergam os dedos de Deus nas belezas da terra.
Em todos os cantos deste mundo Deus deixou preparado um cantinho especial para os homens, mas são poucos os homens que têm o coração aberto para usufruir suas belezas.
