Bell Canyon Hike

What a great state we live in to go hiking. There are so many trails and wonderful sites to see. Today, we decided to take Crew on his first hike! It was so much fun! We went up to the Bell Canyon trail. For anyone that doesn't know where that is located, it's a trail right off Wasatch Blvd. in Sandy. Such a great hike to do. You can either hike to the reservoir up and over one part of the mountain or to the waterfall up the mountain about 1 hour further. This was our first time as well hiking with a baby on board. Can we say much harder and not be called wussies? Because it sure was. Not to mention the blasted heat that we were trying to hike in. Thank goodness for the streams along the way! We stopped at the bridge where the water was just gushing down the hill and there was a good amount of shade! We got to put Crew's little tootsies in the cold water. At first he didn't like it because it was WAY cold, but then I think he felt how good it made him feel and wanted lots more!!! Nick and I both got our shirts drenched in the water as well and good thing we did because it was hotter on the way back down than it was going up. Boy did it feel great, not only the nice, wet, cold, shirts on our backs but just to be in the mountains and see all the beautiful things we have here. By the end of our hike, Crew was fast asleep in the Bjorn. He is was tuckered out and so were we! What a great way to spend a summer afternoon!
