Yesterday, Saturday, was an absolutely gorgeous day and I had no work (unbelievable). I wanted to sing for joy (and will probably cry in a couple weeks when I get my meager paycheck). I announced in the morning to my hubby that I wnated to go for a ride and see the fall leaves. R announced that the canyon leaves peaked two weeks ago. Not to be deterred, I still wanted to go for a ride/hike and told him I'd be going so would he care to join me. Obedient husband that he is, he made the choice to join me and we went up Provo Canyon, turned off at Vivian Park (where the Heber Creeper Train stops/starts), drove up the canyon several miles and stopped at a park (complete w/grass, pavilions, etc.). We found an off-vehicle road and starting walking, walking, walking. It was good for me to get out and walk. 
I liked this picture because it shows the snow-capped mountains in the back and on the return trip saw deer in the meadow. We also had hunters walking, riding bikes and even horses pass us on their way down as we hiked up the road. Run Bambi run!!
Fortunately we had one son who consented to join us. I think the offer of eating out after the hike was the enticing factor. V and T declined; they had a better offer to the Sky Box (sports restaurant) at the Gateway in Salt Lake where they watched the Utes football game
We crossed a few bridges and even went up the mountain on a trail to a spring. The air was crisp, the sky was clear and I was happy to get out of the house!!
