I love Utah. One of my favorite parts of this great state is the Mountains! Having lived here my entire life i can honestly say that I miss them every time i leave, even if its just for a vacation. Now that the weather has decided that we don't need to have a monsoon every single day, Ash and I have tried to find time to play in the mountains as often as we can. Here is one of our recent adventures up to Bell Canyon falls. Even though they are right here close by I had never been before so Ash showed me the way and we had a blast. Its not a bad hike at all so anyone who has never been I highly recommend taking an afternoon or evening and getting up there before the summer is over. It only took us about an hour and 15 minutes to get to the falls and we weren't pushing very hard at all. Its a quick get-a-way and it will for sure clear your mind!!!! Here are some pictures to help you get out of the house... Mikey I'm talking to you too.
...Here is Ash at the start of the trail...
About 15 minutes up the trail you come to Bell Canyon Reservoir.
With all the rain it was full and very green!
...Some of the views from the trail...
...Up at the falls it was coming down so hard we couldn't get to a good picture spot...
...For those of you who are wondering if I was even on the hike, here ya go...
...Back to the good pictures...
...On our way back down...
...As we came out of the trail I looked back and this is what i saw and I had to have a Picture...
And that was our hike! The whole thing only took us about three and a half hours and that includes our 50 minute stop at the falls and lots of picture stops. Again if you ever get bored and have an afternoon free you should take a quick hike!! And before I go I just want everyone to know that this, my first ever blog post is dedicated to Karli Davies (my fellow UTE and best/favorite sister in-law ever!) and the hike was dedicated to Patrick C. Davies (the Ultimate Hiker). Thanks for taking a look! Hope you enjoyed cause we sure did!!!
Yahoo!!! Good work! I love the post, thanks for dedicating it to me. That is a fun hike, we need to go on one soon.

ReplyDeleteI love Bell Canyon Falls! It looks like there was even more water rushing down this 4th of July than last year.
ReplyDeleteGreat Post Nate...I hear Lone Peak calling your name:)
Nate: "Hey Ashley do you want to go on a hike on Friday instead of working?"
ReplyDeleteAshley: "Well sure. But who, oh who, will take care of everything at work?"
Nate: "Oh don't worry. That bum Trevor will do it."
Ashley: (loud laughter)"Yea, that's a great idea! And we'll even take some awesome pictures to rub it in."
Nate: "Wonderful. We make such a great team!"
(more loud laughter)
ps Great pictures! I love the ones looking down at the Valley....nice job:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! I definitley need to hike Bell Canyon this summer. We were at Young Women's Camp last night and it was great being out in nature around the campfire and looking up at the stars. Reminded me that we need to take advantage of the outdoors more often.
ReplyDeleteGood blogging job! Maybe someday I will join the club but for now I just love reading everyone else's blogs and looking at the awesome pictures.
And Ashley said she couldn't handle Lone Peak...
ReplyDeleteFor shame.
Are you guys this cute all of the time? I just don't know if I can handle it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post guys. We need to do more hikes together!
ReplyDeleteI also forgot to say - thanks for the ultimate hiker thing, but I don't think that's really true. Ash, now you have 11 comments :)
