I guess we just didn't know the treasures we have in our back yard. Rachel, Jaidyn and I went on a drive on the Alpine Loop in American Fork Canyon this afternoon. It was awesome! The leaves are changing colors so the views were incredible. Too bad all we had were our iPhones to take pictures with. For anyone that hasn't been up American Fork Canyon in the past few days, you need to make the trip. The leaves stand out with so many different shades of yellow, orange, and red. It looks like the mountains are on fire. There are some cool little waterfalls scattered all throughout the canyon, some of which it appears, you can hike to. There are plenty of places to park and watch the sunset, set up camp, have a picnic, or just build a camp fire and roast some marshmallows. Since this was our first trip, we just drove all the way through the canyon on the Alpine Loop until the road came to a "T" in Provo Canyon. I don't think the whole drive took us longer than an hour and a half. Time didn't matter though. However long it takes, it is well worth the time and the quarter tank of gas. There were so many people driving through the canyon! Drive slow and be careful. If anyone else knows some good places to visit close by, please let us know. We must be the last people in Utah County to discover the beautiful Alpine Loop drive. It makes me wonder how many other treasures we have in our backyards that we are oblivious to???
