Adam's Canyon Backpacking Overnighter

Last weekend we had an adventure backpacking up Adam's Canyon. It was so much fun! We went with our friends, Lauren and Justin. We left Friday night after Cortney got home from work. Here we are ready to attack the canyon!

The hike was beautiful, as usual. We hiked up to the waterfall and there was tons of water, so we donned our sandals and crossed the river.


Cortney is so hot right now! Ha!

Then we hiked/scrambled up a rockslide to a secret campsite that Justin knew about. It was sweet! It was right next to the river and was a perfect little spot!
(Us finally at the top!)

We set up the tents, Cortney gathered firewood, and we all got our dinner ready to cook. We got everything set up just before the sun went down. It was perfect! Then we just hung out around the fire and ate. And ate. And ate s'more(s)! We had hot dogs, and mountain house dinners, and an MRE, and lots of s'mores. Oh, and jerky. The whole bag. Ha ha! It was so nice to just hang out and talk and eat. It was such a fun night with lots of laughs! Then we went to sleep.
Good morning!


The river right by the campsite....beautiful!

After a little breakfast of fruit leather and a peanut granola bar, we headed down. I'm not going to lie, I had some anxiety thinking about coming back down the rocky part of the trail right before the waterfall. It was a little scary! It was nice to have Justin to help us get down safely.
We celebrated at the waterfall!

After we made it down, we drove to IHOP for breakfast! We looked like a bunch of raggamuffins and probably smelled like it too, but that didn't matter. We just wanted some good, real breakfast! Ha ha! It was such a fun outing! Thanks, Lauren and Justin!
