Jardine Juniper Hike




On the rare occasion that me and Steph both have the day off, we try and do something we both love... spend time in the great outdoors! What a better way to do it than go for a hike! The Jardine Juniper Trail up Logan Canyon is one I have always been wanting to do, and with only a week before I leave to S. America I guess there was no better time than now.

This 10 1/2 mile round trip trail led us to the top of the mountain where a 3200 year old Juniper Tree sits on the edge of the hill overlooking the valley below. So beautiful! You can see from our pictures its not the most appealing tree to look at. Its branches are twisted and appear to be dead with only a few small green branches coming out its top.

Kristen, who is also joining me in S America, Steph, and Myself enjoyed our lunch of Huckleberries, grapes, veggies, and sandwiches. With sunny skies and hardly any other people on the trail it was a great break from reality.
