Red Pine and Upper Falls

2010.07.09

Last week Nick and I made a quick hike up to Red Pine Lake in Little Cottonwood Canyon. All of the trail was clear aside for the last half mile before the lake where we encountered 4-5′ snow drifts. We made it to the lake just in time to get a few photos before the shadows moved in. It’s such an awesome location I look forward to coming back soon to do some backpacking and summit the Pfeifferhorn.

The next day I got together with Spencer for another after work hike to the higher tiers of Upper Falls in Provo Canyon.  Getting above the lower falls ended up being a lot more work than I remembered.  I want to go back and explore the Upper Falls areas within the next few weeks but next time I will be better prepared with some climbing gear.
