October 31 - usually it's snowing or very cold, but not this year! I blame that on Covid....really, aren't we just blaming everything on Covid now-adays?
It was 60 degrees so we headed up American Fork Canyon to try out a hike called Old Sheep's Trail. Heading up the canyon, the temp dropped to 38, and we were getting worried, as some of us were in shorts and no jackets....luckily, that was the part where no sun was......when we arrived at the trailhead, it was a balmy 55 or so, and was perfect for hiking.
Hike was rated as "easy" and about 3 1/2 miles round trip. But with 800 feet elevation change, it was steep in some parts, and we all agreed it should be rated as moderate.
Hannah was ready to go!

We decided in the Spring and Fall, this hike would be beautiful with all the trees, leaves and brush

Great hike! We thought after last weekend, when it snowed, that would be it for hikes until Spring! We got one last hike in!
