Two Winter Hikes

We've been keeping up on our goal to go on hikes every weekend. We've had to be a little creative though since it is January.

On January 9th we went to the Logan River Trail. This is a section of the Logan river that is right by highway 89 as is comes into Logan from the south. It isn't much of a hike, but you take what you can get in January.

Still it was really pretty



Brandon's always on the look out for somewhere to build a shelter.


We walked back to the Jeep on the train tracks. (Yes I know it is illegal, but that hasn't stopped me before)
Then on the 16th we went up Green Canyon. This is the canyon where we had a photo shoot a couple months ago. It is completely different in the winter.
For one there are TONS of people up there in the winter. The road is inaccessible to cars but it been packed down so cross country skiers can use it.

After our hike we met a friend at the ice skating rink. This rink is in a park that they flood when the weather is really cold. If the cold weather holds we will go there this Saturday as our hike. If it doesn't hold . . . well at least I got this pic.
And here are some macro shots of the rime ice that covered everything last week. I was lazy and didn't take pictures until it was melting, but I got these in time.
