A pleasant beginning for a rigorous hike up Dry Canyon with my friend Kjerstin.
Arriving to the top of the ridge, snow on the right!
We're having so much fun...until...
...things take a turn for the worse. See the city of Pleasant Grove spread out below, it seems so close, yet is so far away...
So our hike began well, and then we lost the trail. We followed deer tracks down the steep and rocky hills, only to end up in the wrong city, on the wrong side of the mountains. (we were trying to end up in the Provo Canyon, not Pleasant Grove.) There's always next time, it was a good seven hour adventure though.p.s. everytime I see a quote from Helen Keller I'm a little leery. How did she make quotes?how do we know somebody didn't just put the words in her mouth?

hey em. you're crazy, but i'm glad you're safe. this happened to me once - but it was in november and it had been an early winter. we ended up waading through snow that was waste-deep and run-off that was like ice that seeped through ours boots and froze our feet. Oh, and it was night time.
pretty much i thought i was done for. i thought i would never see my mommy again...
Man, I was thinking how pretty the scenery is, but how lame it would be to get stuck on a hike for an uplanned 7 hours! You're a trooper! Glad you're safe.
Other people's words usually taste better in my mouth. (Is there such a thing as professional plagerism?)
