感謝神給我們一個美麗的週日下午，讓許多家庭可以到Big Cottonwood Canyon的Willow Lake踏青。之前幾天鹽湖城幾乎下午都有雷陣雨，剛到trailhead的時候，天空還滴了幾滴雨，不過，開始健行之後，天空開始放情，微風吹起，走在翠綠的白楊樹裡，特別感到清爽。到了湖之後，湖水清澈如鏡，小孩子們在湖邊玩的不亦樂乎。路旁的野花也開始綻放美麗的顏色。踏青照片link

感謝主，又賜給我們一風和日麗的好天氣，讓我們能在週日下午到猶他大學邊上的Mt Van Cott健行。這次大家都能順利的找到trailhead停車場，健行時笑聲此起彼落，每個人步伐有快有慢，整個健行步道上都可以看到我們的弟兄姊妹。由於健行步道到處都有，我們下山的時候，有的走錯路〈哈哈，就像迷失的羊〉，走到崎嶇不平又陡峭的山路，柏衛(文靜的先生)下來到停車場之後跟我開玩笑的說，下次跟裔文出來健行，千萬要記得買醫療保險！不過真的很感謝神，每個人都平安的下山。希望大家也都在身心靈裡享受神所為我們創造的大自然及弟兄姊妹們在主愛裡的團契。

2011-09-03 Mt. Timpanogos Summit Hike (#12)

Saturday (9/3) has been set as the hike of the year. Many people have expressed interest to hike to the summit of Mt. Timpanogos (11,749 feet). This is a 14.5 miles round trip hike and takes about 7-11 hours to complete. We met at church parking lot around 6 am and plan on arriving at the trailhead earlier, hoping to secure a parking space. The Timpooneke trail is so popular that we heard the parking lot is usually full by early morning. We arrived at the American Fork Canyon fee station around 6:50, and saw a sign said the parking lot is full. Later we found out the lot was already full at 3 am. We arrived at the entrance of the trailhead, and were very lucky to be told that there is a small space for our car (I drove my Camry in stead of Highlander). The temperature was very cold and all of us had to put on jacket. We waited for our group to show up, but did not hold much hope because the lot was full. We waied till 7:45 am and decided to begin the hike. Our group finally caught up with us after a few hours. The trail was easier than the Aspen Grove trail that I hiked last year. It was a very pleasant hike. Timpanogos Bain is full of flowers. The view literally took my breath away. It was so beautiful. I finally arrived at the Saddle around noon, and since my legs felt fine, I decided to hike to the summit. The trail to summit was scary at points, but I finally made it at 1:10 pm. The view was awesome.
