Tony Grove

On the way home from Bear Lake we decided to stop by Tony Grove. It's been years since we've been there. In fact, I think the last time I had been to Tony Grove was when I was 16 and my uncle took my pictures up on the rocks and in the fields of wild flowers. 

It was gorgeous just like we had expected but man was it FREEZING! Tony Grove is a deep mountain lake surrounded on the side with these huge rock cliffs jutting from the mountain. It's beautiful. But cold. Especially when you're a little boy who got woken up from a nap in the warm truck a few minutes earlier. 

We walked around just one side of the lake {because it was about 40 degrees not including the wind chill factor} and took some pictures of the autumn leaves.

I kept waiting for Jesse and one of the girls to fall in the freezing waters and cry the entire way home. I think that tree has been there for eons. It's kind of iconic of Tony Grove. 

Logan Canyon wasn't as spectacular as I remember it last year, but there were still patches of reds and yellows to look at. 

It's scenery like this that makes me want to enjoy hiking.
