On Wednesday before we both started work, Bryan and I decided to go for our first hike in SLC. Not wanting to do anything too strenuous or long for our first one, we chose a short one that's up behind The U (what the locals call the University of Utah) named The Living Room Hike. It gets its name because the final destination is a manmade living room with rock tables and chairs that overlook the valley.
After taking a wrong turn very early on in the hike leading us up a different trail (oopps...bonus hike?!) we were back to the trail head and started on the actual the 980 ft climb (see I told you it was a short hike). The landscape is very different here compared to the White Mountains in New Hampshire and luckily we only saw one snake. Fortunately for us, he was dead because he was a big guy!
When we reached the living room, we enjoyed our lunch while taking in the new city that we are starting to call home.
