Slip Sliding Away


Because of all the recent rain (Today is 72 days straight with measurable rainfall) we have been feeling a little couped up. But last Saturday, things cleared up a bit and the sun came out.




We decided to take a quick trip to a place called Sliding Rock.







We followed this gorgeous trail down to the Sliding Rock. I believe it was Elder Kelly that voiced aloud what the rest of us were thinking, We have to climb back up these stairs!" The Kellys are from Canada, but originally from England, so they loved the moss covered stone steps.











When we got to the bottom, we were rewarded with a spectacular view. There were falls up above us and down below us.




There was a family playing in the water and Elder Merrell got some great videos of them sliding down the rocks. It's at the end of this post. As we were leaving several more people we coming to slid and play in the falls .

















We had a wonderful time. On the way home, we had to turn around when we got to a spot in road that was a little too deep for our little Tucson (His name is Henry...we'll have to do a post on him someday). We watched as they pushed a car up the hill that had stalled in the water. So we turned around, and went back the way we came. It was a great day!
