Big Springs Canyon, Pleasant Grove




We're enjoying what is near! Our latest excursion was up the beautiful canyon Big Springs, only a 20 minute drive from our home. The hike was a total of 3 hours (Brian was a trooper  and carried Eli the entire time!) and as you can see from the pics included  a wide range of terrain. I've decided to take advantage of what is near instead of longing for what is out of reach. While I'm here in the great state of Utah I might as well enjoy every bit of it, even my own backyard! Next stop : Antelope Island, SLC!

Wow Ashley - I haven't been to Big Springs since the 5th grade. And I've never been to Antelope Island. Isn't there a bird sanctuary there? Post lots of pics for us to enjoy!

Love the new banana yellow look (matches your frisbee tees).

Fun!! Then, when you get here we'll do all the fun stuff in NC! Canoeing! Camping! Hiking! Biking!

Diedre-the only info on the spool is:
Item #05-40
Length:144Y
made in china
I believe he bought it at a floral supply store that only florists have access to, hopefully this info was helpful.
