Jimmy and Holly invited us up to SLC to go on a wee hike Saturday afternoon. Revved up for an exciting outdoor adventure, we packed delish deli sandwiches, meltingly moist cookies, and some bottled beveregation and headed out for the trail. The internet trail description said it was "moderate," which we translated to "easy if you're not wusses." Turns out that--two aching backs and 1 set of bad knees combined with killer switch-backs and vertical ascents (90 degrees! or something) with the added delight of kamikaze caterpillars dive-bombing from the trees en mass--left us to conclude, "Welp, that waterfall sure sounds like a winner....time to go settle Catan*." For the parts of the trail we did do, the weather was beautiful (sunny with a tantalizing breeze) and the scenery divine. After some additional physical therapy we'll be back to conquer the mountain and actually get a visual of the falls....
*Don't judge us.

HA! That's hilarious!!
Sounds hard though. Don't tell me that you had to cross through the water a dozen times which made your feet numb, too.
That's right...don't judge us. Those caterpillars could have been poisonous. In fact I'm pretty sure... based on their markings...yep, they were poisonous.
which falls were you trying to get to? sounds like a good hike!
