Field Trip: Hike

Submitted by jane.wilkins on

We had the opportunity last week for an enrichment activity to enjoy the beautiful fall colors and nice weather by hiking Big Springs Hollow Trail in Provo Canyon. A small creek crossed the trail in several places. A yummy picnic lunch was ready after the hike. Thanks to Mrs. Boothe, Sharon and Cindy for all their hard work arranging transportation, supplying baby carriers and preparing the meal! It was a great hike for all ages.
