Enjoying the Beautiful Autumn colors

My roommate Allison and I decided to drive through one of the many canyons up here to enjoy the beautiful autumn colors.

We decided to head up towards Park City, we ended up going through Emigration Canyon, but didn't quite end up in Park City.

Allison and me.

Aren't the colors absolutely beautiful.

Allison goofing off.

And me acting silly as always.

This is for my sister Libby.

One thing that I have to give northern Utah is that it has wonderful, beautiful autumn weather. Plus the colors are absolutely gorgeous.
As for me, I'm getting out, trying to meet new people, and just living life.

For other news, I have recently discovered Pinterest, thanks to my sister, and I am now addicted to the awesome show Doctor Who, and I am in love with David Tennant!

A Week With the Fam in Wyoming/Idaho!

So several weeks ago I went to Wyoming and Idaho with some of my family. We stayed in a cabin in Driggs, Idaho and visited Grand Tetons National Park, Jackson Hole, Yellowstone National Park, and West Yellowstone, Montana.

We saw lots of Buffalo in Wyoming, way too many than I care to remember. Every time I saw a buffalo I would get the lovely song, "Guy on a Buffalo" stuck in my head.

This was what we had to hike down and then up again to see the lower falls.

Let's just say I was out of breath on this trail ;)

Me and my baby, and cute little Zoey.

Me and my baby again. Yes I know there are lots of pictures with me and Peyton, but if my cousin would let me, I would take Peyton as my own ;)

I got to see Old Faithful. I only have a video so no pictures.

Some hot springs in Yellowstone. These really are beautiful, I mean look at the colors.

And of course the classic picture by the National Park sign.

It was a fun week with my family, but sadly I had to leave a couple of days early to be the maid of honor at my friends wedding.

This is not the most flattering picture of me, but here I am in my bridesmaid dress.

Another Hike on the Red Mountain

So today my friend Erika and I hiked to the wash on the red mountain.
Here we are at the top of the wash, resting and enjoying each others company.

Here is the view from the top of the wash.

Me at the bottom of a kind of cave thing. There were a bunch of rocks on top of each other that made a kind of cave.

The view from about half way up.

It was just another fun day hiking up on the red mountain.

View from the Top

So on Tuesday my friend Erika, her sister Jenny, and myself decided to go on a quest to reach the top of the Red Mountain in Ivins. It was a blast and totally worth the pain and anguish. I'll admit that when we first started the hike I didn't think that I was going to be able to make it, but we all pressed on and after an hour made it to the top of the Red Mountain. At the top we decided to explore a bit. At the very top of the mountain I called my dad (we got really good service up at the top) told him to grab his binoculars and see if he could spot us. He called me back and yelled at me to get away from the edge. And just for your information I was a good ten feet from the edge, I'm terrified of heights and that was as close as I dared get. After some exploring we decided to have a little fun and jump off of a rock into the sand. It was a ton of fun, and I am very grateful that I made it up. The view from the top is exquisite and totally worth the pain. This was my third time hiking to the top of the red mountain and I will totally do it again, so if anyone ever wants to hike to the top count me in!
