I went horseback riding in Logan canyon with Raechel and Ben & Whitney. The 4 of us rode in the mountains nea
r Beaver Mountain area. The elderly guide and his young grandsons led us through creeks and trees and brush to a summit overlooking Beaver area. The guide had fun retelling his stories to us while we rode. Made a note to self: wear long pants when riding horses through mountains. My calves & shins got a bit scratched up through the vegetation! Also I learned it's okay to push away from a tree so you don't bang your
knee on a tree. I got a minor bruise on my knee from hitting a tree trunk! Another thing I learned was that trotting is easier on my body if I stand a bit while the horse is trotting! But it's still ouch! It was a beautiful area and so peaceful....until near the end of trip, Raechel's horse tried to kick mine! There were kind of some tense moments hoping the horses wouldn't get out of control, but we all kept control of ourselves and got safely down the mountain! Then we got some take-out from Fredrico's...I absolutely love the ham & cheese salads and their garlic bread is to die for! We took our food to Lundstrom park and enjoyed our meals while listening to the babbling brook(inside huge plastic pipes...but if you didn't see the pipes you'd think the stream was right there). We had a good time!
