rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky

On Friday night, the roommates and I (we missed you calpal) decided we needed to go snowshoeing. We had never been, so we even youtubed "how to snowshoe". Saturday morning, $9 later and lots of unnecessary layers, we were trekking through deep deep snow in the heart of Provo Canyon. It was amazing. We are completely hooked and I want to go everyday. It was beautiful and breathtaking and so peaceful. High point: walking on top of the snow singing John Denver's "Eagle and the Hawk" with shliz. High point: trying to climb a hill, failing, and sliding down 34 times. High point: sitting on the back of our snowshoes, slide-skiing down a steep hill. High point: being the only ones on top of a little mountain, listening to avalanches in the distance, basking in the glory of the mountains. SO GREAT
Liz pointed out how lucky we are to live so close to the mountains, with beautiful nature and recreational activities so accessible. We really are so lucky and I love that about living in Provo.
Can't get enough of those lakes, mountains, and meadows. There's just nothing like it.
