Hike #1

So this summer I decided that I want to do a bit more hiking and enjoy the mountains of Utah as long as I still live here.  Last week my friend Grant 

and I hiked Cascade Saddle.  You can get to it from the south fork of Provo Canyon or from Rock Canyon.  The trail is about 11 miles from one end to another, but since we only had one car we just took the Rock Canyon route.  The hike was pretty steep, but at least it was nice and cool in the canyon.  I'm pretty scared of rattlesnakes and was expecting to see one, but all we saw were a few deer that didn't seem very skittish and some harmless little snakes.  Maybe next time I'll have my encounter.  It was a good hike and the view on top was great.  You can see Provo and Utah Lake in the west and Midway and the Jordanelle reservoir to the northeast.
