Time to catch up on some outdoor activities. A few weeks ago I took my daughter Autumn (4 1/2) up Big Cottonwood Canyon. We drove to the top of Guardsman Pass, parked the car and hiked up the ridge heading to the south. The views were fantastic, particularly looking to the east. There were lots of mosquitos though, so we decided to try something else. We drove down to the Brighton area and ended up at Silver Lake. We were there for about an hour. There are wooden walkways and trails that encircle the entire lake. It is a beautiful place and a particularly good choice for kids, because it is convenient and very accessible. Next time we'll have to bring our fishing poles!
