What is more gorgeous than sun and freshly fallen snow? In December? In Utah? You gotta love it if you live here, right!! My weekend workout was a snowshoe hike on the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail to the Salt Lake City overlook. This trail begins just passed the fee station in Millcreek Canyon. The first mile of this snowshoe hike is a great cardio workout. The next 3/4 mile is a leisurely stroll around the mountainside to an awesome view of the entire Salt Lake Valley.
This was my first view of the valley with the snow covered Oquirrh Mountains in the background. You must go around two more corners to get a view of downtown Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake. Don't give up and turn around here - keep going!
