Another week. Another hike. I must have the hiking bug. I just feel the need to explore and be busy. Today I decided that I'd take a few hours and take the Rock Canyon Trail up to the Rock Canyon Campground (which to get to by car you go up Provo Canyon.) I've started this trail a few times. The first time was a few weeks ago and I only went up just over one mile. The second time was last week when I detoured up to Squaw Peak. This time I went all the way up to the campgrounds. It was just under 3 miles one way with a elevation climb of 1,665 feet. Not nearly the climb of hiking to Squaw Peak but it was good hike non the less. I finished it all under 2.5 hours. Once I passed the turn off for the Squaw Peak trail I ran into no other hikers. I didn't take my big camera this time. I just used my iPhone a lot. But this time I did remember to bring a big water bottle and that was a good thing. They have two drinking fountain along the trail. I've been to the first one before and drank from it. It's about a mile up the trail. But I had never been to the second one. When I got there this time, I found out that it wasn't working. So I'm glad I had my own. They probably had water at the campgrounds but I forgot to look. There was a bathroom up there but I didn't check it out either. I was surprised that I didn't see anyone up there camping. Fall is coming. I saw the signs. Before too long I'll have to hang up my hiking shoes and that makes me sad. So enjoy it while it lasts!
