Matt and Mikes Visit in totally mixed up order

Perfect reflection pool picture

A fall hike to Murdock peak

Early on in the trail.....still fairly fresh and eager.


Gorgeous fall colors

We went to Music and the Spoken Word

Just 2 weeks ago this ravine was filled with wild flowers

Love the yellow and dark green

Beautiful

Not like the summer hikes, but beautiful still.....the higher we went, the more bare trees

Mike and I wending our way

The recent snow had flattened everything.

The higher we got, the more snow to hike through

In the tabernacle

Lisa and Matt on Temple Square

The the base line

Beautiful people, beautiful temple

Still fresh before the hike

Had to get Mike, too.  It was warm in the valley.


Our beautiful flowers were now at seed stage

But out path was strewn with gold

More seeds.  These were so brilliant white

The top of Murdock Peak.  Dad and I were going to make it.  (We did)

Loved the gold leaf ornaments on the green trees.  What more could you want for Christmas?

At the top of Murdock Peak:  A closed sign.  Guess we hiked far enough!

More leaf 'ornaments'

A view from on top!  Dad and I made it to the top.  Lisa, Matt and Mike rested (and waited patiently) at the bottom of the last hill.  It was my first experiences truly rock climbing.  I thought it was great!
