Parrish Creek Trail...

Today we took Lightning Dog (age 6) and The Hamster (age 8) high above Bountiful/ Centerville Utah. The first part was a steep elevation a little challenging for them but they each carried about 7 lbs.  One fun motivator we learned is that kids like to name landmarks on the trail. Kept them aware of their surroundings and their minds off "taking a break". They came up with "Camp Treehouse" where they want to camp next time and "Rockbiter" a small rock outcropping that looks like a face and to pay hommage to the never ending story. Next time we plan to camp and summit Bountiful peak (Elev 9,259).
