Hiking Feather Falls

Michael, Tara, & Ava had so much fun hiking Feather Falls last weekend, my mom and I and our friend Cynthia decided to give it a go. Omar volunteered to watch the boys, but because we were going to be gone so long I decided it was probably better to take Isaiah with me. Tara let me borrow her backpack, and we were on our way.

The hike was beautiful! I didn't realize how lush the foothills really are. It reminded me a lot of Washington. There was even moss growing on the trees. There were lots of beautiful wildflowers (My mom had to stop and take pictures of each one) as well.

It felt good to go so much exercise and enjoy the nature. Some of the views are very awe-inspiring, and God is definitely in the mountains. I had a religion teacher at BYU say that God uses mountains when there is no temple available, and I believe it.

Isaiah was a really good boy for almost the whole hike. He slept a lot of the way in to the falls, and part of the way out. For the last 2.5 miles he was done being in the backpack, though. So grandma and I took turns carrying him the rest of the way out.



Cynthia, Mom, and I finally at the falls.
