Family Circle

We spent last weekend in Salt Lake City and enjoyed a couple of hikes in the Wasatch Range.  The above photo was taken from the White Pine trail in Big Cottonwood canyon.  Through the opening in the canyon, you can see Salt Lake Valley spread out below. 
The aspens and maples were still providing a free fall show: 
A camera perched on a backpack and set with a timer provided this group photo:
The highlight was spending time with this young family:
The littlest hiker was soon overwhelmed by the excitement: 
We didn't mind.  She's cute when she's asleep.

  1. Janie - what a great family portrait! Your Grandbaby sure is photogenic! (Just wait - they learn to look away from the camera!) Next time we come to SLC, I'm going to have to go through your posts for some good hikes.

  4. It almost looks like an avalanche of color on the mountain. That high altitude air is invigorating, but eventually you're right, it will zonk you right out to sleep. :^)

    Your little angel sleeps peacefully, tired from the fresh air. You are so blessed with such a great family.
