Weekend Adventures

I like going on little adventures. I think the hardest part for me this semester has been sitting inside listening to someone talk hour after hour after hour. I have to admit I occasionally find myself daydreaming, I suppose trying to crowd out the boredom creeping in. I do enjoy my classes and feel like I am learning good stuff most of the time, I just like getting out and about you know? Luckily I have the weekends! Here are a few fun things we have done these last few weeks.





Monday we went to St. George thinking we could escape the cold. Little did we know it was actually more stormy there than in Cedar! We decided to hike around Santa Clara to see if we could find a climbing spot we had heard about. It was raining pretty much the whole day but it was only a drizzle. After about an hour and a half of hiking through the plateaus we finally found the boulders!
It was pretty cold and we hiked a long way, but it was beautiful! I love the desert landscape. Especially in the rain! Everything looked so bright and fresh.



A few weeks ago Casey and I went on a short snowshoing expedition on the Bristlecone Pine trail.


I liked seeing the animal tracks of all shapes and sizes in the snow. Casey actually took this picture. It's so pretty I had to put it in!

And of course we've been climbing!
