In Which You Look At Pictures!
Jul. 20th, 2010 02:01 amIt is Liz Week!
Finally, after hanging out every day for all four years of college, and visiting her family every year I was in Oregon during Thanksgiving, I get to show her my world! She’s going to be here all week, and we’ll be checking out Moab at the end of it, but for now I’m showing her around Salt Lake. Wanna see? Of course you do!
First she, Mom, and I went to Silver Lake, up in one of the canyons. It’s a popular spot for families, old folks, and lazy people to hike. It had wildlife!
Like baby pikas!
At Snowbird in the next canyon over, we took the famous aerial tram up to Hidden Peak. What a view!
Liz wanted me to take proof that she’d been next to a glacier.
Riding the tram turned out to be better-served by memory than re-experience. The tram is kinda neat, sure, but it’s a big room full of squawking kids and surly adults. So when we got to the top of Hidden Peak, we decided to hike down a little ways to the relatively new ski lift that would take us the rest of the way down.
( Liz had never ridden one before. I had never ridden one DOWN before! )
