A Brisk Winter Hike

Just because spring is here doesn't mean there isn't winter hiking to be done! This past week we were able to hike the Little Cottonwood Creek Trail. Despite the generally warmer conditions in the valley, there was still a good 4-8 inches of snow over the bulk of the trail. The side of the trail is "littered" with ancient boulders, some larger than houses, that were the original materials from which stone was cut to fashion the Salt Lake City LDS Temple.

Although the hike up was demanding, the scouts made record time going downhill, picking up any trail trash found along the way.















Afterwards, the scouts wound down with a game of imaginary baseball.
