The Beauty of the Great Outdoors

With the weather warming up, now is the best time to hit the amazing trails around Utah before it gets too hot. Utah is one of the best places for an outdoor adventure offering numerous trails around to explore. In the Ogden area, one of my favorites is Waterfall Canyon, but don’t miss out of Donut Falls, Bells Canyon and Angels Landing ~ to name just a few to hike.

Before setting out on your day in nature, be sure to pack a backpack with a map or guide book, plenty of water, fuel (high energy power bars are a great source of protein) and first aid kit. For a full list of what to bring check out this website.

Don’t set out without checking the weather to make sure you are prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws at you or if you want to reschedule your plans. Also don’t forget to let friends and family know where you are headed so they can find you in case of an emergency.

Enjoy your outdoor fun and remember to carry out everything you brought in to keep the outdoors clean for the next person.
