Five Hills

On Black Friday my mom SHOCKED me by wanting to go shopping instead of hitting the trails behind her house for a hike.  I admit it, I shocked myself by going hiking instead of shopping.  But the mountains were calling so off I went.  I joined a few of her friends and they took me up the five hills.  I scrambled up the face of the first hill and was rewarded by this amazing view of Cache Valley.  

I could only go as far as the second hill before I was out of time, but it was so great.  To make up for lost time I decided to run the whole trail down.  Trail running downhill is a breeze, but I had to stop long enough to take a picture of the cute stream I had to pass over.  Not a shabby way to spend the morning after a Thanksgiving feast!  I should have added, "I'm thankful for beautiful mountains" to my grateful list!
