Happy New Year Everyone! I write this as the magic hour is fast approaching in the East, but I am in the West so I have a few more hours of 2011 to deal with. What a year it's been. It's been nice being back in the West. Yesterday, my daughter and I went skiing. It was her first time to ski out West and she did great. Today, I went hiking with my son in Spring Creek Canyon, south of Karanaville, Utah. This was the first canyon I hiked in Utah, just a few days after I moved here in 1993. Between 1993 and 2003, I've hiked this canyon dozens of time. It is always a good hike. It was icy going in, but as the sun cleared the canyon, the temperature warmed and we hiked out in the mud. I'll end the year with some photographs of the hike and one of my grandson.

This might work this time.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the kid.
Hmm. Is that the correct term for a grandfather. I hope twill do in lieu.
We've nothing that narrow and high, gorge-wise. The nearest is the Massif Central in France, it being much newer an'all. But that looks Old Red so probably not an upthrust more like erosion.
No firearm ?. Not needed eh.
What a cute little boy! I'm looking forward to hearing stories of the camping trips and hikes you'll be taking with him.
ReplyDeleteWHAT A SWEET GRANDSON!!! You are very blessed:) And that hike looks absolutely amazing...I could live every day out there!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to you and your family....here's to the many days of adventures which lay ahead!
It looks like a wonderful hike and reminds me of one of my hikes in Utah years ago. Wishing you and your family a blessed new year.
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds like a mighty nice (if cold) way to ring in a new year. Happy New Year, Sage, and safe travels always.
ReplyDeleteOh so cute--your grandson :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful year Sage--half as action packed as 2011, and it will still be more action....
What a sweetie pie. Happy New Year to you and yours, Sage. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, your grandson is a heartbreaker already! How adorable.....and such a dear blessing! Your ski trip looks like you had a great place to break your daughter in in the great west! So happy you shared the hike, and photos!
