Fall Camping Trip 2022

For the past four days I have been on a fall camping trip with my family up at the property and it has been so much fun!  My brother-in-law Trent and I went up Thursday and decided to take the scenic route through Big Cottonwood Canyon over Guardsman Pass into Midway in order to see the fall foliage.  The views were amazing!
Once we got to the property in Tabiona, we took the side by side on a few trails.  I'm getting better at driving it!
There are so many trails to explore!  I always have to make a stop at my favorite rock formation!
Kristine, Tashena, Trent's sister, his two nieces, and his niece's three kids (who were adorable) came up Friday afternoon.  We drove to a little town called Bluebell (in the middle of nowhere) for a really great corn maze with lots of other fall activities (I loved the pumpkin launching).  We got dinner there and I had my first caramel apple of the season!
On Saturday Trent made one of his famous breakfasts on the griddle and then we had a lot of fun playing games and sitting around the fire.  The kids made s'mores and we roasted brats over the fire for dinner.  It was wonderful.
I slept each night in the trailer and, as always, I really loved it.  I am so grateful that Trent and Kristine let me stay in it whenever I want!
By Sunday afternoon I was tired, dirty, sunburned, and everything I brought up smelled like smoke.  In other words, it was a really great trip!  It was really hard to come back home!

Nebo Loop

Yesterday was the first day of my favorite month so, of course, I had to take another one of my favorite fall drives.  This time I drove the Nebo Loop which is a 32 mile scenic byway between the cities of Payson and Nephi.  The weather was absolutely perfect and the scenery was spectacular!  The leaves are so pretty right now!
Once again it was so nice because it wasn't crowded (most recreation areas in my neck of the woods are packed on the weekend) so I could stop on the side of the road for pictures.  I only saw a few cars on the entire drive.  I'm planning a few more drives for next week!

Alpine Loop

Fall is my very favorite time of year and I love taking a drive through the mountains to see all of the leaves changing color!  This is peak leaf viewing time in Utah so I took a drive through the Alpine Loop yesterday and it was beautiful!  The Alpine Loop is a 24 mile drive between American Fork Canyon and Provo Canyon and, because it was the middle of the week, there were hardly any cars.  I really enjoyed driving all of the switchbacks with my windows open!
In the next few days I am going to try to go on all of my favorite fall drives!
