Scott, my brother in law, and I hiked to the top of Little Black Mountain in Salt Lake today. It is a hike that starts above the avenues in the Terrace Hills area. It is about 9 miles round trip. This all came about on Thursday when I was asking Scott for some computer help for my boss. I asked Scott if he had any hiking trips planned soon and he said he had this one planned for Saturday. I, of course, invited myself to go. We met at 6:30am to start the hike. It was amazing. Scott was gracious enough to let me set the pace. The weather was pretty nice until we reached the top and it started to snow. You could see everything from the top of the mountain from all of the Salt Lake Valley out to Tooele and up to Antelope Island. The leaves are just starting to change color so the mountains were canvased with beautiful fall colors. The hike down was cold. It started to drizzle rain and although I had my trusty rain coat my lower body got soaked. It was awesome though, a good good day.
