Sometimes a girl needs a break, even when it is not the smartest thing to do.

I spent most of Sunday studying for my math final, but truthfully, there is only so much studying I can take so I decided to take a break and go for a hike instead.

One of the perks of living in Salt Lake City is you can be to most of the major hiking trails in 20 to 30 minutes. So I filled my hiking pack with some water, grabbed a granola bar and was off!

I ended up going up Big Cottonwood Canyon to the Mill B North Fork trail.

Balancing on jagged rocks near the edge of a cliff to take a picture of myself. Smart. Very smart.

View from the top. I think...

I can’t say I fully recommend this hike. Well, unless you enjoy hiking up vertical patches of lose slate gravel, in which case you would LOVE this hike! I swear I’ve never butt scooted and monkey climbed so much while hiking. So I’ll just say, hike it at your own risk.

Utah has so many hiking trails to offer and while I’ll not be returning to this particular one any time soon, it was the perfect way to put off studying for a few more hours and I’m glad I did.

Math final is Monday afternoon then I am out on summer break for three weeks! Freedom is nearly mine!

YAY!

Blogfully yours,

Summer
