Why hike when you can drive?

Taylor and I got up Saturday morning and got ready to hike Squaw Peak. We made sandwiches, grabbed snacks, and got water ready. We decided it would be a good idea to buy a camelback for me since we're planning on doing a lot of hiking. We finally found a good one after the FOURTH store. It was actually on sale for $20



This is a good representation of it right here. Pretty nice, huh?

After the shopping trip we both didn't feel like using the middle point of the day to hike it. Hiking Squaw Peak would take around 6 hours we estimated. Its an eight mile hike up and down. So, we decided we would drive up Squaw Peak. There's this drive you can take up Provo Canyon to the Squaw Peak lookout. However, once you get to the fork in the road where you can turn right to drive up to the overlook, you can also turn left and keep going further up. I've been wanting to take Taylor further up since we've been back. I've been up there twice and it is so beautiful. It is beautiful mostly because you end up right in the middle of the Uinta mountain range. On all sides of you are mountains. Anyway, pictures are better than words so here are the photos! Enjoy!
