Silver Lake Hike

Yesterday we hiked to Silver Lake in American Fork Canyon. The views of Mt. Timp were spectacular. While the distance is only 4.5 miles, the elevation gain of 1450 feet makes it a challenging hike. At the halfway mark we gave Jacob and Anna the choice to turn back, but they decided to keep going and see the lake (Nathan did not get a vote because he was getting carried in a backpack). Along the way we saw a moose, made multiple stream crossings, and viewed a half dozen small waterfalls. My kids rock.
