Part 2 of last Saturday

After Short Track practice, Nick and I wanted to go on a hike. I talked Jon and Mia into going with cause it's just fun like that. We did get started till around 11 because we had to swing by Mia's so she could get her gear, then Jon had to run home to get his. We finally all met up at Subway and on we went!

We ended up hiking Bells Canyon up Little Cottonwood. It was hot outside. There were many hikers out that day! The hike started with switchbacks. Not too bad. It leveled out for a bit then *BAM* it got hard! Well at least for me. I ain't much of a hiker. I am trying to learn to like it though. It would be funner if I didn't get so hot and tired so fast, but none the less....

SO we are just walking up this mountain and all of a sudden SNOW! It is blazing hot outside and there is snow! Now this was great cause snow was all Mia was talking about, and she got to play with some.

The last half mile was a steep climb. Wow. But we made it to the waterfall and it was amazing! It was so big and cold! The mist coming from the water crashing down on the rocks was freezing! It felt good at first though! We hung out there for a bit. Took some pictures had some food. Jon broke Mia's LIVESTRONG band. Good times.



Going back down the hill, snowball fights, log balancing and a bit of dryland was involved. It was so hot out! We made it back to the car barely alive. We drove up the mountain a little more so Nick could take his ice bath. He is crazy! Before dropping Jon and Mia off we stopped by Jamba Juice and that was the best feeling ever!
