I think I picked one of the best weekends to go on a long drive. We drove down to Payson to drive the Nebo Loop. The fall colors were fantastic. We hiked three separate hikes–Grotto Falls, Devil’s Kitchen, and Box Canyon. The first two are pretty short, boring hikes to neat destinations. Box canyon was an adventure. It’s in Maple Canyon just north of Ephraim.  Joe had been there several times during his Snow College years (before he met me) and had always wanted to take me. We managed to scramble our way to the end, even with Peter in tow. There are some fun little climbs up boulders. We had to hand Peter off to each other, and almost turned back, but made it all safetly. I wouldn’t recommend it with toddlers though. I felt like I was on a vacation yesterday and love the time I was able to spend with my family. It so trumps staying at home.
