Lisa Falls and Rocky Mouth Trail

As the weather continues to warm up, the mountains have been calling our names more and more. We are so lucky to be surrounded by such beautiful mountains.  We really need to enjoy them more.  The last couple of weeks, we went exploring in the mountains and found 2 little hikes ending with beautiful waterfalls.  The first hike that we went on was up Little Cottonwood Canyon.  We packed water bottles and Porter wanted some pancakes for a trail treat..haha and we headed on our way.  Porter made sure to pack his binoculars with him so he could spot a moose (that is his dream).  Here’s our cute little hikers with their pancakes doing such a great job hiking. 

All little boys really need to be happy are sticks.  So easily entertained!

Here we are by the Falls.  They were beautiful!  It was a short hike but perfect for our little kids.

Porter could have played in the water all day.  We will have to make sure that we come back again when it is warmer so him and Kaden can play and not get so cold.

Rocky Mouth Trail

The next hike that we went on was in Sandy and it was called the Rocky Mouth Trail.  This was a very family friendly hike up Rocky Mouth Canyon in Sandy.  The trail was a little bit steep in some places, but a lot of fun to hike.  Porter is an excellent hiker.  I couldn’t believe it when I watched him basically run up the mountain.  The first part of the trail are tons of  little wooden steps that you hike up.  Porter didn’t complain once and just climbed and climbed.  He didn’t stop once or complain he was tired.  What a little trooper. 

On the way up we passed this little cave that Porter was so excited to see.  He was for sure that it was a bear cave and that if we stayed their long enough, we might just see a bear.  It was also covered in bat poop which Porter found fascinating as well..haha. 

We made it to the top and were greeted by an amazing waterfall.  It really was beautiful. 

Kaden sat on this little spot on a rock for a long time playing in the water with his little stick.  He was in heaven. 

We had so much fun hiking together as a family.  We had never been on these hikes before.  It is amazing how many beautiful places are right around the corner from where we live.  So excited to explore many more places this summer with my family.
