Today we segued back into the world of hiking, with an easy hike to Coal Creek Waterfall (see the fall between J and Sam's heads?). When walking up the trail, J and I joked about how we could tell we had "winter bodies." Sam is a lot heavier in his backpack carrier than last summer, though, and that also slowed us down (at least, that's our excuse).This was a pretty hike, and we're excited to explore other trails in the area. I'm interested in seeing the sunken holes where the early coal miners used to work. I would just recommend that people print out a trail map or pick one up at the trailhead. You can find more trail information and a map here, on website for the Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park.
Aside from the beautiful surroundings, these were my two favorite things about our hike: 1) J walking down the trail mimicking moves from the Ministry of Silly Walks and 2) teaching Sam how to use a walking stick. He didn't quite get the hang of it, but he was a cute little hiker and explorer:

Sam is super cute!
We are going to have to get some hikes in the next time Kelly and I come up.
Your pictures are super great and I am amazingly jealous.
Good thing it is still cold down here. Utah weather, the bane of my existence.
What a great little hiker! I'm excited to go together sometime soon. Hopefully we'll be able to view some of J's silly walks too. That video was hilarious. Thanks for the great summary of your previous hikes - that will be a great resource for us this summer!
I love that you guys are avid hikers! I love a good hike!
The video is so cute. Same seems like he is so fun the older he gets.
And I love "winter bodies", ha ha ha.
