Adams Canyon Hike
One of the activities Marie and I have often loved doing is hiking. I guess we like the exercise and the time in nature and all that stuff. We have seen waterfalls and great overlooks, enjoyed wildflowers and walked along nice streams. I want to share with you a story from our recent hike in Zions. We were on the Emerald pools trail.
It was a wonderful hike with minimal snow and lots of things to take pictures of. We had enjoyed hiking up to all three pools, were on our way back down and were on a not crowded part of the trail when we heard something in the brush to the right. I was following Marie. She looked and then jumped, it really startled her. We had come upon a family of deer feeding on some leaves. They let us sit and watch them for quite a while and even posed for pictures, it was a great nature experience.
As I thought about our run-in with the deer, I was amazed at how beautiful life is and how wonderful the world we live in is. I think we all need a little time in nature to remind us how blessed we are and to feed the soul. Here are some pictures from some favorite hikes.
