Snowshoeing

Since we wouldn't be able to be together on Valentines Day due to work and school, Mikey and I celebrated it early on the 11th. We took a leisurely drive up past Jordanelle, through Kamas, up Mirror Lake Highway, and went snowshoeing. We picked the North Fork Loop and really liked it. It was pretty flat and easy and took us about 3 hours including lunch and picture stops.

North Fork Loop Trail

3.5 miles round trip • 7,500 – 7,800' elevation

The North Fork Loop Trail is an unmaintained trail that follows a two-track road for most of its length. Begin at the North Fork parking area and cross the highway to the Trail Head. Follow the trail as it winds through sage fields, aspen, Lodgepole pine and the occasional Ponderosa pine. At the crossing of the North Fork Provo River, follow the orange stakes tied to trees. In about half a mile, pass through a gate and head back down toward the Mirror Lake Highway. Cross the highway and join the Beaver Creek trail and head east back to the parking area.

We packed a picnic lunch and ate it on the trail. Stanley loved the snow and fetching his stick (his favorite thing!) It was a gorgeous day, fantastic weather, clean air, and we didn't see a single person on the trail.

In the evening, we made a delicious scallop and pasta dish from one of our favorite recipe books:

Happy Valentines Day!!!
