In my last post I wrote about our trip to Utah. During the trip Walker and I decided to take a snowshoeing hike through the trails near the resort. We got an early start which was great because we ran into very few people and it was so quiet and peaceful. All of the untouched snow was sparkling in the sun. I wanted to be the first to touch all the perfectness but at the same time want to leave everything undisturbed. I did a little of both. Along the way we had one fortunate encounter and found out about a lake some way up the trail. We made that our goal and journeyed on. It took us about 2 hours to reach the lake since we were stopping every 2 seconds to take pictures. It was just so pretty. I got a lot more pictures of Walker taking pictures of the outdoors and Walker has a lot more nature pictures.

Once we got to the lake (last picture-although it’s difficult to tell since it’s frozen and covered in snow), we took a break in the snowbank and had lunch. Oh winter picnics are pretty awesome. Luckily though it wasn’t too cold so we could enjoy the break and eating with our gloves off. Sitting down was tricky with the snowshoes so I took mine off to eat and thought I could venture off the trail to take a picture. Um no, my leg sunk in until the snow was up to my butt. I quickly handed Walker my camera and crawled out. Best to keep the snowshoes on when snowshoeing. Got it!

After our break we took the fast route back and it only took about an hour.

Snowshoeing was my favorite part of the trip.
