We celebrated the Utah Pioneer Day by getting out of the valley up to Alta Ski area to do some hiking.
We chose the Lake Catherine Pass route, started out at the Sunnyside Parking area and walked approx 1.5 miles up to the Pass, overlooking Lake Catherine. Lucinda and Cierra joined Sue, me and Justin. It was a fairly easy hike, only 800' elevation gain over 1.5 miles, a few places were more steep than others, but overall a fairly easy hike.
After Justin, Cierra and Lucinda headed down, Sue and I took off higher up to Sunset Peak, the sign said it was .3 miles up, but we truly don't know if we made it or not, our GPS showed we went .5 miles and we didn't see any signs.
On the way down, we ran into a group of young girls coming from Brighton Ski Resort, they were on their 4th peak of the day heading to hit the 7 peaks in the area. Looks like something we'll need to do one day. From what we could tell, you hit the peaks that surround some of Alta and Brighton basically circling you back to Brighton.
On to our next adventure today, camping up in the Uintah's with NO reservations or campsite chosen, we know about where we want to go but we may just end up along side the road throwing our tent down. More on that when we return.
Enjoy the weekend.
Sue and Dan
