Upper Silver Lake

We did the most amazing hike a couple weeks ago. We got to finally do Upper Silver lake in American Fork Canyon. I have had this hike on my list for years and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely breathtaking. My pictures don’t even do it any sorts of justice honestly. It was about 4.4 miles roundtrip from lower silver lake. It got a little steep near the end but I wouldn’t say it is really a hard hike. We saw people doing it with hikes but I would imagine it would take a lot longer. Seeing it during the fall was fantastic but I’ve seen pictures from the Summer too and it’s a different kind of beautiful. It is probably one of my favorite hikes in Utah so I highly recommend it. Don’t confuse this with the Silver Lake up Big Cottonwood Canyon though, their are two Silver Lakes. To get to the one I am talking about you just drive up past Tibblefork Reservoir in AF canyon and then once you get to the lower Silver Lake there is trailhead you can’t miss. Oh, and it’s dog friendly. All three of us hiked up and ate lunch at the lake and it was absolutely perfect. I would love to spend every weekend up in the mountains honestly.

They are my favorite.

This picture prompted my juice fast haha but I still love it!

FIVE YEARS.

 

Happy 5 years babe.

We got pictures done by Brolin Taylor Photography at the sand dunes and I couldn’t love them more. When you see my hair in most of the pictures below you will realize why I keep posting the kissing ones haha. The sand was blowing in our eyes and making us tear up and Lyle had a layer of sand coating his hair but he was a trooper and didn’t complain once. I realized I forgot my brush too so this is the hair you get haha. In spite of it being a windy day I am so happy with these romantic photos. I can’t believe how fast time is moving, it honestly terrifies me, but I am so lucky to be doing life with Lyle. Someone told me the other day that my “life is weird” and I laughed because it’s true. We are never in the same place for long and we have done more long distance that a couple should but it’s our life and I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else. I hope I look back and never forget how blessed I am to travel and have adventures with him. Right now our lives are going 100 miles a minute but I have been trying to focus on all our many blessings and live in the moment. I am glad this man is down for anything. He is the easiest going man you will ever meet guys. I swear to you. He would honestly have to be to be married to me haha. He’s selfless, loving, doting, patient, happy, positive, and never fails to make me laugh. Marriage is hard work and I have learned so much in the past 5 years. Our adventures in some ways are just starting and I can’t wait to see where life takes us. Here’s to eternity Ly. Awkward hand on my face but I still love it.
