Nebo Loop Color

So in Brazil, there is no such thing as fall. Or Autumn. Whatever.
And so we thought the best thing to do would be to take our boy on a day adventure where we would see all of the color in the context of the beauty of the mountains.

Our first stop was a little stream heading into the canyon where the loop starts in the Payson area. We got out of the car and hiked down the incline and played a little.
Yes. Conner got in the water. It was super cold!


Love this picture of my girls :)

Working out the crossing of the log.

Maryn, Ashlyn, Kayque and Conner. 

We made some sandwiches quick and ate before continuing our drive.
The colors and the scenery were gorgeous!
You know you're high up when you're looking down on the mountains. It just goes on forever! So peaceful...and a little chilly.
This one looks like it should be a painting! So beautiful.
Bald Mountain. 10,000+ feet!
On the last little bit there's an area of geological interest, Devil's kitchen. Kind of cool, and a very easy mini hike.
"The Devils Kitchen is a scenic red rock "break" off the Nebo Scenic Loop. It offers pillars and other interesting rock formations. It somewhat resembles a miniature Bryce Canyon."
So we finished the loop and ended up in Nephi...where we discovered a DQ! Blizzards were the perfect ending to the day. We had a great time.
