Reunited Adventure

Lindsey Merie and I went on a hike up Big Cottonwood Canyon yesterday. We hiked the Broad Fork trail which is at the bottom of the 'S' turn in the canyon. The hike was moderate and had a great variety of both steep and flat parts and some very rocky parts.
This was our first real adventure we have had together since Summer 2007 in New York. It was so good to be back together enjoying the beautiful mountains which we both love.
We hiked for about two hours crossing the river on this cute little bridge and getting to what we thought was the top. But when we got to this flat/meadow area we noticed the trail kept going, so we did as well. We didn't want to stop because we were so curious to see where this trail led. Around 5:15 we thought we better turn around because it was getting late and we still had to hike down. We didn't make it to the top so we carved our names into two trees so that if we ever hike this trail again we will know exactly how far we went and then can keep going past it.
Linds and I have a goal to do one new hike a week and have many more adventures in store for each other!
