The Best Canyon in Provo
Although this is my personal opinion, I think Slate Canyon is the prettiest canyon in Provo. That's why we'll probably hike it several times throughout the summer. This is the same trail that we hiked a few weeks ago, but all the snow should be cleared up by now. I'm guessing it's about a 5 or 6 mile hike. It goes up Slate Canyon and comes down Slide Canyon (the 'Y' trail). Because of the elevation gain I would say it's a moderately difficult hike. I estimate it will take 4 maybe 5 hours. We will have the option of shooting up to the peak of 'Y' mountain if we feel like it which would add about 30 min. If you're up for a good hike this week meet in AA1 at 9:00 Saturday Morning.

Peak Week!
This week we will be climbing Squaw Peak. It's the shortest and easiest peak around, but it is a lot of fun. I'm estimating it taking about 2 hour up and an hour down. The hike isn't too long, but it climbs really quickly (whoever made the trail must not have known about switch backs). If you want to come meet at AA1 at 9:00 this Saturday morning.

Hike this Week!
The weather looks like it will be good this week, so we'll plan for another hike on Saturday. I would like to try a trail I've never been on before. It's in Pleasant Grove and goes up Battle Creek Canyon. I understand it's pretty easy; it looks like it's only a couple of miles. Supposedly we will be able to hike in to a waterfall. We'll plan to meet in AA1 at 9:00 Saturday morning. Come ready to hike!
