2011-06-05 Emigration Canyon Ridgeline Trail Hike (#5)

Hiking Photo Link
I went hiking with my church friends. We couldn't pick another perfect time to hike this spectacular trail. The view (wild flowers, rolling hills, valley, canyons, etc.) at the Emigration Canyon Ridgeline trail was breath-taking! The arrowleaf balsamroots are in full blossom (usually in early June, and we happened to come to this trail at the right time!).

Thanks the Lord for a wonderful warm and breezy afternoon and great fellowship on the trail. This trail (5.2 miles round trip, 1,100 feet elevation gain) was not exact an "easy" trail according to the trail info I handed out to many of you this afternoon. There were lots of up and down hills in this trail. It is actually a combination of easy, moderate and strenuous level of hike that tests the hikers' perseverance and determination. The final destination is a mountain top that greatly rewards those who made it view of Parley's Canyon (I-80), Emigration Canyon and Salt Lake valley (and Great Salt Lake too).
