Summa in the Mountains

Hi there. This summer, so far, has been full of lots of good times spent in the mountains. Camping, hiking, climbing, running, etc. But mostly hiking. Which is seriously my favorite thing ever. Yes, it trumps climbing ;) In fact, climbing actually scares the heck out of me, but I like the thrill. ANYWAYS. So here are a bunch of random pictures from hiking, in no particular order. Enjoy! :) 

This was taken....somewhere up Logan Canyon, on the Crimson Trail I believe. Me and my sister were going to Logan to get ice cream at like 7:30pm (don't judge) and once we were almost there we were like, "Screw ice cream! Let's go hiking!" and we did. The sun was just setting and it was SO GORGEOUS in the canyon. :) So much better than ice cream. 

Also the crimson trail. I was SORTA in love with the way the light was touching the canyon, therefore I took lots of pictures. This was on the same night as the first one. 

Same night as the first. ISN'T IT SO PRETTY. I can't even. 

Same night as the first. I told you it was GORGEOUS. How come I'm so lucky to live in a postcard worthy place? ;) I love it. 

Same night as the first. Um...so if you go hiking with me you'll probably get sick of my CONSTANT need to take pictures of you. "Wait STOP there, that angle is perfect, move your hand, smile, turn to the left" that happens every ten steps ;) But this is my sister Sam, and I LOVE this picture. 

Yeah, same night. Third dam looks really brown in the that light.....it's weird how different it can look.

Same night, OKAY I REALLY AM ALMOST DONE. This one isn't that great, but it shows the trail, and the yellow flowers that lined it, which you can't see because the lighting SUCKS. But there you have it. 

Same night. Okay so this is blurry when you look at it, but it is FOCUSING on the SUNLIGHT coming through the trees. I mean maybe some would say this pictures sucks, which is a photographical (I create my own words) way it does, BUT I kinda like it so there. 

Last one from that same night. You can see the canyon road and if you look close enough you can see the valley and the Wellsville Mountains in the distance. 

DOES THIS NOT LOOK LIKE A SCENE OUT OF LOTR!?! It does. Your argument is invalid. This was up Smithfield Canyon, where we hike clear across the mountain range to Logan Canyon. Perfection. Hard. But WORTH IT. (This is the start of that girls camp hike that I lead) 

See that ribbon of cliffs? That is the crimson trail. This was taken from the wind caves with two of the coolest people ever, and I know, it doesn't look like summer, but welcome to Logan, Utah. :) 

Sorry Dallin, I had to post this. How come you're so cool!? ;) 

My dad. He looks like the ultimate hiker doesn't he? ;) Note: I forgot to crop out that tree branch, it's whatever.

This was taken on an 8 mile hike that I put together, and lead for girls camp.  

#DareDevil So that's me, no I did not take this. But it screams free spirit, aka me ;) 

This is the view on the way down from the girls camp hike. OH. MY. GOSH.

Annnnd, this is a close up view from the summit of that girls camp hike. 

Mountain lakes. AH. It's just....so.....beautiful I can't even.

This was a hike me and my sisters did. This was about the middle of the hike, it was stunning. :) 

CAN YOU SEE THAT KAYAKER ON THAT MOUNTAIN LAKE. I die. I die. I pretty much HAD to take a picture of him. Man, I would make a good paparazzi ;) Not really actually. 

This is also the crimson trail. I started from the other side and did this around 6pm. I really really love all the elements of this picture. 

This is the same hike I lead for girls camp....It. Is. Stunning. 

Same hike I lead for girls camp. This was up on the summit. Pictures just do NOT do it justice. The view was SO much more spectacular. 

This was also taken on the crimson trail. This does not do it justice! I hate how cameras just can't truly capture things. But it is pretty right? :) 

Taken inside the wind caves. It was snowing and raining out there so we hid out in the cave until it stopped. 

The wind caves from across the canyon. Look close, it's pretty cool. :) 

Sorry again. But this picture is way cool. :D

Dallin, Me, and Kim. It was snowing out there, can you tell? So basically I love these two a lot, they are cool kids, and hiking with them is the best. 

Dear Kimberly, stop being so cool. Kthanksbye. ;) 

This was taken up on the same trail I lead for girls camp, and this is my older sister. I looked back, and practically screamed at her to stop and smile. That view though. 

Taken from the summit of the hike I lead for girls camp. The feeling is amazing, because you can't see the view until you are standing right on that ridge. It. Was. Stunning. 

Yeah so that's it! I have many more where those came from. If you are featured in this post and would not like to be, shoot me a message ;) haha. Anyways.

That would be all! Go explore some new trails! :)
