Hiking to Circle All Peak

These added on top of my words......but LOOK at the color!  Wow!

Flowers, flowers everywhere

Dad and Vonicia and I took a hike for Family Home Evening.  Our last hike to Dog Lake we thought was amazing for the flowers.  This trail had flowers taller than we were everywhere.  It was a very steep trail......Like Vonicia said, "2 1/2 miles up, and 1 mile down!!!"  It was to a place called Circle Overlook.  Standing on top, you could overlook the entire canyon 360 degrees.  Beautiful.  [It was only a 3.9 mile hike, but very steep--took us 2 1/4 hours to go up, and 1 hour to come down!]  We do stop for lots of pictures..........Here are a few of them:

 We climbed high, fast

 The views were spectacular

 Unbelievable, but this hike had MORE flowers than the last!

The trail was so overgrown with flowers (bluebells here) we felt like we need a machete

Millions of bluebells everywhere

Unbelievable

These were growing right out of the rocks!

Plus the beautiful little stream that was our companion most of the way

Just look at that gorgeous pathway
