♥All for the Love of Hiking ♥

I love hiking!  It has become my passion.  Every week all year long I plan to hike or snowshoe somewhere, anywhere - doesn't matter where and I would like to share my experiences through photos and trail data on this blog.
So let's get to it!

  SPRING

Rattlesnake Gulch Trail joining the Pipeline Trail to the Salt Lake Valley Overlook.

 This is a fairly easy trail that can be hiked year round.  It is 3.8 miles roundtrip with an elevation gain of 729 feet. (piece of cake).  Once you reach the Pipeline portion of the trail it is very level and a pleasant walk to the overlook.  The trail was a little muddy in spots, but not as bad as I expected.  This hiker chick isn't afraid of getting boots dirty!

 

 Great views of the Salt Lake Valley with the Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island in the background. 

 When you reach the trail's end you will find the remains of pipe used to bring water from up canyon.

Already plant life is returning to the mountains.  Spring has indeed sprung!  I wish I knew the name of this plant.  I need to study up on my flora!
