Just Beyond the Sunset

Sunset over the Salt Lake Valley

Evening hikes really are one of the best things about the sun setting later and later. And Friday evening's weather was perfect for a hiking adventure in the mountains just above Red Butte Garden and the University of Utah. The storm stayed to the West of us, providing a spectacular sunset.

Our intended destination was what is called "The Living Room," but we never found it. Instead, we settled on a different peak, which afforded us a great view, too.

And so we settled in, eating Alberto's burritos and ginger cookies.

It really was a perfect evening--a great start to the Memorial Day Weekend. It's hard to believe that a dusting of snow now covers these very mountains.
