Maybe I shouldn't call this the "big hike"- but for us it was. When we hiked to the Battle Creek canyon waterfall earlier this summer, the boys just wanted to keep going. I promised that we would come back before summer was over and do the whole loop- up one canyon and down the other. So finally, on the very last day before school started, we did it. Price, Josh, Mom and I hiked up Grovecreek Canyon, around "G" Mountain, and down Battlecreek Canyon. Including a little "detour" (we had to be able to say we'd been lost, right?), we figure the hike was about 8 miles total. Not being hiking speed demons, it took us about 6 hours. Mom and I still have stiff legs. Price and Josh, not at all. They must be young or something.
The view from the top of the canyon - we made it!

Almost done- back to the Battle Creek waterfall! We were amazed at how much water there still is in the canyons- all the waterfalls and creeks were still running fast.
Price and Josh are great hikers- we had a fun time, and it was a good way to end our summer vacation!
