Hiking in Big Cottonwood Canyon

Big Cottonwood Canyon is a beautiful wilderness that is just a short drive away from my home in Salt Lake City. On this most recent excursion the weather was splendid -the snow was gently falling and the air was crisp. Snow has such a transformative power on a landscape. My husband and I have hiked this stretch of trail many a times during the summer months and I have always enjoyed how beautiful the scenery was. Trekking this short distance with our little dude in tow brought a different kind of appreciation for it in this winter weather. [Taken with a Canon 5D Mark II]
