Fourth of July in Canyon

For the Fourth of July we went up Big Cottonwood Canyon to the waterfall area the kids and I found. Everyone was worried that it would be crowded but we had the whole place to ourselves for most of the day. For some reason it isn’t well known. I had made a picnic of sandwiches, fruit, gatorade, cookies, and chips. It was nice and shaded and higher in elevation so we were escaping the heat. I was excited to hike higher up the falls because I couldn’t do it that last time because Remi was too small.

After lunch the boys and I hiked. I had read that there was another bigger falls up higher. It was a hike to get too, but not too bad, and there was a trail. I was excited when we finally found it. It was beautiful and had a pool of water under it. The pool was probably deeper in the spring. It was a fun hike. We found easier ways on our way down. Remi could probably have done it going the easier routes.
