Hiking

For the past couple of weeks I have been hiking every day up a wickedly steep canyon just south of Baer Canyon. I don't know the name of this canyon, but there is a dirt road that goes up it. The road is so steep I don't know how vehicles manage to navigate it. Nate, this canyon is right above the neighborhood where you used to live. Do you know what it is called?

I tried to take a picture that would show how steep the road is, but none of them really did it justice. I was hoping that I could lose some weight if I hiked this every day, but so far I've had no success.

The road ends in this pretty grove of pine trees. I love the silvery green ground cover under the trees. I'm told that once the road end it connects to a trail that leads down into Baer Canyon, but I can't find the trail, so I just go back down the way I came up.

I also enjoy all of the wildflowers along the way. Thanks to Mom, Rick, and Rick's dad for the new camera. It is much better than the old one, and it doesn't need duct tape to hold it together.
