Over the Hill to Fort Canyon

Ed and I ventured out of Lambert Park today and hiked from the Cove to Fort Canyon over the new trail. It was a beautiful walk!

The trail was covered with red-stemmed filaree, all in bloom!

There was a Utah White Fir that was three times the size of any of the putzy-dutzy ones in Lambert Park!

We saw a pair of wild pheasants, who got away before we could get a good picture.

The weather was so nice we barely noticed how steep the climb was!

When we got close to the Fort Canyon development we looked over the edge, but decided not to walk down, as we'd already walked over 2 miles in one direction!

On the way home we stopped in Lambert park and took a picture of a couple of geese who posed nicely in front of our beautiful mountain backdrop!  Did I mention we love living in Alpine?
