Mesa Falls Adventures



We found a great place to enjoy the beautiful mountains, not far from home. We drove to the Upper Mesa Falls and enjoyed the sights there and then we hiked 2 miles to the Lower Mesa Falls.



The day started out a little chilly but by lunch time we were shedding our jackets.
 

The kids had so much fun! Morgan wanted me to take pictures of all the flowers and plants and animal tracks that we found. She didn't want to forget a single detail of the day.


There was a neat little museum where we learned about some of the wildlife in the area. When we pulled into the park, the ranger reminded us that we were in bear country. Morgan's eyes bugged out. He assured us if we would make some noise on the trail we shouldn't have any problems. I'm sure we made enough noise to scare away any bears. 


It was a beautiful day! We love being back in the mountains, surrounded by trees.
