Hiking Springville to Germantown and Back

trail_mapOur path today.

Aaron and I hiked a total of about 6.6 miles today.

We started out at Old Springville Road and hiked down Hardesty to Leif Erickson. We followed Leif Erickson all the way to Germantown Road. From there we took the new Canon trail up to Wildwood and followed WW all the way back to Springville.

One of your most beautiful photo-sets ever! (and I'm definitely not counting your picture of me :)
The only thing is that you didn't convey how incredibly terribly muddy it was.
It was muddy. But entirely worth it.
