2013-09-29 Mormon Trail Hike

Hiking Photo Link
This year's record warm weather in the Salt Lake area seemed to play a role in how the fall foliage displays in the neighboring mountains. But the vibrant color on Mormon trail in East Canyon still surprised us. Indeed God's fingerprints were on full display reminding us that He is the Lord of creation. Our hiking group had a great time enjoying the beautiful scenery and fellowshiping with one another. Thanks for Saofeng, Guojiang, Yuxia and Li Ming, who did not feel the one mile (one way) hike was challenging enough and ventured deep into the neighboring area to find a new trail for us. That was the most beautiful place with lots of vibrant fall color in this hike. There was a second small bridge on this loop too.

We had a very warm summer this year. Labor Day is supposed to signal the end of summer, but the temperature just won't show it though. It was a partly cloudy afternoon, which cooled down the temperature quite a bit. It was a very pleasant hike on the trail. After arriving at Lake Mary the sun came out and we also saw a lone moose by the lake shore on the other side across from our group. After 30 minutes resting and snacking, we continue to hike to Lake Catherine. On the way home, rain started for half of the time.
