get-a-way

So I've posted pictures from this spot (Temple Quarry Trail, at the base of Little Cottonwood Canyon) before (check out that link for a little flash back in time...whoaaaa belly). The truth of the matter is, we frequent this little trail at least once a week when the sun is out. It's ten minutes away, flat and easy, yet completely and utterly beautiful. Just a little get-a-way in the midst of things that doesn't require a cooler, a box of diapers, and six hundred sippies. Belle's really familiar with it by now and always leads the way, directing us, politely: "Go down there. PLEASE." And so we do.

I was talking to a friend this morning and she hadn't heard of this lovely little spot of goodness. For more information, go here. We do just the little walk-about at the base (not the actual hike that goes up the canyon).
