The Wind Caves is one of the coolest hikes here in Cache Valley. The Wind Caves were formed by water and wind erosion and has created a small triple arch and natural caves made from limestone. It is about a 1,000 feet from the highway so it is a steep climb. This is where Kristy and I went on our first date.
Kristy and just the Young Women were going but I thought it would be good to have a guy go along with them. We met at our church at 6:00 and then headed up the canyon. We had a pretty good group heading up to the canyon.
There was flooding at the beginning of the trail. There is a small stream of water that comes from out of the mountain. It wasn't small this time around.
This was the small stream. Now it was a raging river!
Logan and I were the only guys on this trip. Not that we were complaining.
Logan found a small cave inside the main cave. And before you ask, Logan was not using that as a bathroom.
Afterwards, Kristy, Logan and I headed back home but we stopped at a grocery store to pick up some snacks. I bought a huge bag of lime, root beer and banana popsicles. We had a good time and made it off the mountain before it got dark.
One of the reasons why I like hanging with the Young Women is because they are a good example to me and more importantly a good example for Logan. I hope when the day comes he brings home a girl like these girls.
It is fun how our reasons for hanging out with "cute girls" changes. I find myself a tiny bit excited for when my boys begin dating. The innocence is just fun to see and reminds me of how much I love Karen and our first dates together.
ReplyDeleteI have always, always wanted to do this hike (hint, hint)... what about the wheelers?
