Take Your Dad Hiking...

On Father's Day the family and I took my dad up into Big Cottonwood Canyon for breakfast and some hiking. Our picnic site was in Moss Ledge about 5.2 miles up the canyon. We had a really nice day and it was good to have everyone together.

I went up early to get a good site and do a little "pre-hiking" hike. The Canyon is pretty right now, it's really green, the rivers and streams are running fast and there are a lot of waterfalls from the snow melt.

After breakfast we hiked up the little canyon above the picnic site. (From left to right Me, my dad, and Adam)

The waterfall and formations were beautiful and I guess I went a little crazy snapping pictures. The formation is the Proterozoic (Precambrian) Big Cottonwood quartzite with interbedded shale and siltstone.

It was a really nice day to be in the mountains and we had a lot of fun!
