We celebrated our 37th anniversary with a mountain hike. A storm came through the night before with thunder, lightening and rain, and the heat wave broke. Plus, my husband took time off work so we could hike the Dawn Trail in the morning.
I’m so thankful we got to go on the mountain trails. It had been too hot in the afternoons to attempt it.
Here’s info about Dawn’s Trail from AllTrails.
Discover this 5.8-km out-and-back trail near Park City, Utah. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 1 h 54 min to complete. This is a very popular area for birding, hiking, and trail running, so you’ll likely encounter other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are April through October. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.
Review from hiker: I wouldn’t rate this trail as easy simply because if you start near the map at the bottom that’s next to the ski lift, it is all uphill and it gets pretty steep at some points. It’s mostly switchbacks up to the top, but it is a pretty strenuous slope, especially for beginners. But, It was beautiful and had a gorgeous view of the valley.

I counted 14 different wildflowers on the hike. Here are some photos:
I’m glad we waited until later in the week to do the mountain hiking. We’re more adjusted to the altitude and ready for more. But first, we’re going to hit the jacuzzi!
Happy Friday! What are your plans for this weekend in July?
Gorgeous photos
Thank you! It’s a gorgeous place. You don’t get the steepness of the mountain though. Photos always make things look flat.
What a great trip!
The hike made me realize how put of shape I am in two years! I was breathing so hard on the upward climb.
I went to a chair yoga class last night. It was wonderful. The instructor was about 70 and in better shape than all of us!
I did chair yoga with my mom in her assisted living. It was fun and my mom and I laughed and laughed.
good exercise…it looks easy but strengthening for the knees and hip.
That’s exactly where I hurt.
It works. I feel great today!
I was getting tired of 60 minute walking sessions.
Happy Anniversary! That’s a lot of years together, not many people could say the same! Great photos! Thanks for sharing. We’re heading to Tahoe this weekend, we’ll be enjoying lots of hikes, good food and wine! 💕C
Our close friends from Palm Springs who moved a mile from us in Arizona are in Tahoe now. They invited us to go with them, but we already had our Park City plans. Have fun! We went with them last July to Tahoe. It was gorgeous!
💗💗
To answer your question: book club. Movie. Dinner with my daughter.
Wonderful!
Wow 😍 just wow 🤩
It was such a treat! I can’t wait to go back next summer.
Great series of posts. I can understand why you make it a point to visit there every year at the same time.
Thank you for your compliment! Yes, we love it up there. At one time we considered a second home, but the prices got ridiculous.
