One reason I love Utah

This morning after I dropped the kids at their tennis lesson, I headed up Mill Creek Canyon for a hike.
Today being July 1st, the last stretch of the road up was open after being gated for skiers, snowshoers and dog walkers since November. I parked at Elbow fork and took the trail 2 miles up (and I do mean up) to Lambs Canyon Pass. Here is a picture of the view and one of the kinds of wildflowers I saw (23 different kinds in all). It was warm but nothing like the high nineties on the valley floor. I saw four other people and three dogs -- another reason I love Utah.
