Thanksgiving Weekend Hike

We decided to earn our breakfast Saturday morning by hiking on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail from our house to the University. We entered at the Terrace Hills trailhead, which is right by our house, and hiked to the University Hospital Trailhead (map). It is very dry right now, and the trees are almost all totally barren. It was a crisp morning, and there were not too many bicycles out on the trail. We saw a few other hikers, all of whom were taking shorter loops. It took us about an hour and a half to finish the hike, then Karen picked us up and we went out for breakfast. There are some spots that are likely to be very pretty in the spring, so we will have to do this again.

A few fall leaves were still hanging on in the canyon near the U.	Vili at the trailhead.	Vili and Alexander. They are most enthusiastic about eating breakfast asap.
