A Change of Plans

On Memorial Day we went to the Timpanogos Caves. It was something that we had been wanting to see since we moved here a year ago. We knew it would be busy on a holiday, but we decided to take our chances. We arrived at the place where you purchase tickets and found out that there was a 3 hour wait until the next available hike! With our two little ones? Yeah that wasn't going to happen, so we had a change of plans. We read about a place nearby called Cascade Springs and decided to check it out.

We started out driving through a lush green forest, then it turned into a dirt road and ugly dead grass fields. The road just kept going and going. It was in the middle of nowhere. We were concerned that this was a bad decision, but knew we couldn't turn back after this far. Well after a few more miles of nothingness we arrived. It looked like nothing, but dirt and field of dead grass! We parked the car and started walking. Just around the corner was these beautiful springs cascading down the hill (hence the name)! It was so pretty and worth the drive! It was the perfect length of hike and Grace slept most of the way there and back. Can't ask for a better day than that!
