This winter I decided that I wanted to try snowshoeing! My family are outdoor enthusiasts so I knew I could find some snowshoes laying about. Sure enough, my sister Kristine was able to find me a pair. For my first adventure, I went to Mill Creek Canyon which is one of my favorite places. It was an absolutely beautiful winter morning and, to my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed snowshoeing! It was so invigorating!
The following week, I drove to Soldier Hollow which was the cross country skiing venue for the Salt Lake 2002 Winter Olympics. I actually went on the Olympic trail! It took me over an hour but I still felt like an Olympian, nevertheless! I also went off the trail for some epic powder and discovered that I preferred the powder to the groomed trails.
Next, I went to Tibble Fork Reservoir which is one of my favorite camping spots in the summer. It was very interesting to see the reservoir frozen over. I met some charming people here. One man came up to me and complimented me on my hat and then I noticed that he was wearing the same hat in black! Unfortunately, I learned that there had been an avalanche on the trail after I left.
I ventured to Donut Falls next. It was another beautiful and invigorating winter morning!
Finally, I went to the Nordic Center at the Sundance Resort. It was snowing and I had quite the adventure getting there. A group of adorable little ladies were having a cross country skiing lesson while I was there so I was pretty much able to go off on my own through the powder. It was so peaceful!
I certainly enjoyed all of my adventures snowshoeing this winter! I am really happy that I decided to try it out and I look forward to many more enjoyable trips.
