click for link to get your own little hot pink number

HIKERS: Kim, Amy, Hope
WEATHER: 66 f, warm and sunny (woo hoo)
SUMMIT: 25 min.
RT TIME: 50 min.

KIM'S NOTES: Our summer is finally here. We were actually WARM on the way up this morning! We didn't talk much on the hike because we were too breathless. It was quite a chore to make it, but we did. Definitely not our fastest time, but it is great to be back in the groove and have a schedule again. Our summer hikes are here to stay! It was inauguration day for Amy's pink hiking skirt. Such a proud day when that comes back out after a winter in the drawer...

MAIN CANYON


HIKERS: Amy & Kim & Hope the dog
WEATHER: 45 f, sunny, but with a chilly breeze (we got ear ache/headaches)
TIME: ?
KIM'S NOTES: A beautiful sunny morning, but cold. We got 3 inches of snow yesterday and it was all melted. We did the main canyon again because we were concerned it might be too muddy.

EPHRAIM BY BIKE


CYCLISTS: Kim, Amy
WEATHER: 47 F, Mostly sun
TIME: 1 hour

AMY'S NOTES: Our first bike tour! We skirted the edge of Ephraim city streets proper with a short excursion onto some dirt trails on the east foothills. Thinking about "Same Old Mondays", "Bike Tour Wednesdays", and "Discovery Fridays." Or some variation of that.

KIM'S NOTES: It was muddy (already stated), so we stuck to the main canyon road and it was still muddy. Good workout, however.

WE'RE BACK!



HIKE: New Canyon
HIKERS: Amy, Kim & Hope
TIME: not very fast
WEATHER: beautiful, sunny day in the 60's!
KIM'S NOTES: It was great to be hiking again, especially in this lovely weather we are having today! (Wish it would last longer than just today...) I got tired easily because I haven't exercised for a MONTH, but we made it to the Lone Pine marker. We are back on the trail and happy about it!
