Winter Hike

Today we went on a winter hike...it was really fun, and hard! But it gave me a chance to try out my new hiking boots.
Super cool waterproofed hiking boots: check! My feet stayed warm and dry. yippy!
Like every other hike we go on Chase was a crazy freak! Running around like he has never been outside before and will not get another chance in the near future! Although, the snow was a nice touch because we didn't have to carry water for him...he just ate snow! :)


Ryan looking out...we got pretty high!

Although we hiked mostly though snow we did go through a patch of mud. It added about 4 lbs to each of my feet. All that mud was caked to my boot! And it made me so sad...I love my shoes and I like to keep them nice and mud makes them dirty, I don't care if they are boots--they are dirty!

We were on the top of the mountain as the sun was setting! What we could see was really pretty.

So when the weather lady said that Utah County was on "Red Alert" due to the air quality I didn't really know what she meant until we started going up hill and it felt like I was having mini heart attacks because I could not get a normal breath of air....whats what "Red Alert" means...and looks like.

There we so many deer around...they just stared at us. We even saw a buck...It is a successful hike when you see a buck! :)
