Morgan is a walker now!!!

So this video is from September (it was too big to upload to blogger, so I had to go through youtube unfortunately), Morgan has decided to walk, she doesn't do it all the time yet, but more and more each day. She is a cutie. Camryn, in case you couldn't tell, is quite the singer... well she loves singing anyway. The girls are so sweet together and love to hug each other and cuddle together (even though Camryn's attempts to help/love Morgan end up like they did in the video sometimes). They are cute together.

The Alpine Loop at its finest...

It is hard to say which of the seasons is best for the Alpine Loop, there is something to be said about springtime when the mountain comes back to life or about the ferns growing under all the quaking aspens in the summer, but the mountain seems to explode in the fall. It was fun to drive it and have Camryn get excited about the colors she could see.

A quick drive along the Burr Trail...

Quite the Cottonwood.

Strike Valley and the Waterpocket Fold

Part of the beauty of the Burr Trail.

So my friend Steve Leavitt and I decided to make a quick run down to Capitol Reef a couple of weeks ago. We took the Burr Trail just outside Boulder and drove across the Strike Valley and the Waterpocket Fold. It was a beautiful drive that I highly recommend. The rabbit brush was a spectacular yellow and we had the place to ourselves. We hiked a couple of slot canyons. It was quick, dusty and good. A classic Steve Leavitt trip.
