Outside & Across the Street --My Fav. Hike









I love the Bonneville Shoreline hike across the street from my house.

A few things that make this hike so great:
  • Nobody ever uses this hike, so I feel like it is my own private sanctuary.
  • It is so beautiful, especially in the spring time with all of the new growth. I tried to take pictures of all the different wild flowers. I just love nature. It makes me so happy and I am so grateful for Heavenly Father creating places like this for us to enjoy.
  • It is quite steep, so I feel like I get a good work out just by hiking quickly up the hill.
  • Nature has such a calming affect on me. I always feel
  • recharged, peaceful, happy, and feel I have gained a better perspective after time in nature.
  • It's right across the street. How nice is that. I don't have to drive anywhere and I don't have to plan a time to go. All I have to do is step outside my door and I am there.
  • Have I mentioned that it is beautiful. I love looking at all the different flowers.
  • In the spring there are many different streams of snow melt to cross.
  • I love the earthy fresh smell of trees, water, and good dirt. Also in the spring there is a sweet scent from all of the flowers which I love.
  • Another pleasant factor about this hike is that it is shaded from the sun for most of the time because it is in a twisting canyon. And the trail is shaded by shrubs/trees.
