After last spring/summer's hike totaling just one, Shelley was ready to get back to hiking, although with some concern, as we didn't want a repeat of last year. We got her some hiking poles to help, which she said did help and we were able to complete the first hike of the season without any issues. Yeah! Hannah came along too and we missed Jacob and Noah who were studying for a huge test and Aubrie who had some work to do with her photography job.
We went to one of our stand-by hikes, Dry Canyon, as it's pretty short at 2 miles with some steep climbs, great views and very very close.
We had Meghan and Corey and their family come with us too, and all the kids were able to do the hike as well! They did so good!
The parking lot and trailhead are just above a neighborhood, somewhat hidden
We did our own loop, which was only 2 miles total
This was one of the steep parts
Love the big rocks that are on both sides of the trail towards the top of the climb
This is looking back and the two rocks and the opening between the two, which is where the trail is. Utah Lake is in the background
We were probably about a week and half too early to catch all the shrubs in bloom
On the way down, you get a fantastic view of Orem and Provo
The Lindon Temple being built

This was a great start to the hiking season!! Hopefully many more hikes to come!
