Darby Canyon

Today I got a wild hair to go for a hike. Both Garrett and I had the day off. So we quickly got dressed, grabbed a few things at Maverik, and headed out for Darby Canyon. This was Kadens 1st EVER hiking experience.

Darby Canyon is beautiful! It is about 2.5 miles to the Caves.

I can't remember what they call this rock, but I remember it from when I hiked with the YW.

He had lost his energy, so we sat on some rocks and he ate a snickers bar. It worked. He was able to walk almost the rest of the way to the caves.

Apparently it had just snowed there about a week before. And there was quite a bit of snow!

I honestly have no idea what his face is for! He is getting ready to throw a rock into the waterfall, that you can't really see because my cameraphone is crap!

The windcave. Kaden and I didn't actually hike into it because 1: It was supposed to be closed for some disease that bats have been dying from. Apparently they are doing some studies on the bats and the caves have been closed since the 27th of Aug. 2: The trek up this far was snowy, muddy, and slippery. It was scary enough getting this far, and it only took us probably 30 minutes to get down 100 feet!

Overall, we had a wonderful time. It was nice to get out of the house. In fact, Kaden asked if he could watch TV when we get home...looks like we need to get out a bit more!!
