I decided we needed a little sight seeing road trip one weekend. So we loaded up some coolers and headed out. I had heard the Mirror Lake Highway and the weather was perfect for a ride in the mountains. Ed had never seen the Upper Provo River Falls so we stopped for a few minutes to take in the sights. Kaitlyn loved looking at the water falls.
Then it was on to Mirror Lake for a picnic. I couldn't believe how many little lakes there were all along the drive. The one on one side of the road was named something and the one directly across from it was a totally different lake. On our way back down we took a ride up Soapstone and took in the sights up there. Kaitlyn decided she was tired of looking at trees and rocks and thought a nap sounded better. It amazes me how kids can sleep in those car seats. It looks so uncomfortable!
We went for a ride up American Fork canyon with the side by side. I think the rest of American Fork, Highland, Alpine and Cedar Hills decided to do the same thing. Holy people!!! We ate our fair share of dirt for the first few miles but once people turned off the different trailes it wasn't so bad. We found a nice spot in the Quakies for a picnic and Kaitlyn tried her hand at driving. Coming back down the trail I spotted a small bull moose that Ed decided to chase with the Prowler. Unfortunately I had just put my camera away so sorry, no pictures!
We stopped where the road crosses over the river to wash all the dirt off our faces. Kaitlyn and Ed decided to go wading. Kaitlyn asked me to come in. No thanks, to cold for me!!
