Hidden Falls and beyond!

Today we ventured up Big Cottonwood Canyon to find Hidden Falls.  We parked near the S Curve and found our way to the falls pretty quickly...like in 10 minutes!  We didn't realize that it was literally across the street from the parking lot.  We also found an old mine, but didn't explore too much due to the caution signs and the wetness inside the mine.   So after that we decided that we should hike up in the canyon a little more to enjoy the beautiful canyon!

We hiked up and around the Olympus Wilderness area.  It was a beautiful spot in the canyon...but it was hot!  There wasn't a lot of shade and we were there right around 1pm, so it was hot!  

The kids stopped at the creek on the way down and dunked their feet and later their heads in the cold stream.  That was a real refresher!
