My mom came to town for the past two days, so yesterday we decided to go hiking in Hyalite Canyon. It is a really cool place in the mountains on the south side of town which has a road leading about 12 miles through the mountains. We drove all the way down the road to hike the Hyalite Creek trail, but the trail was still covered in snow so we could only walk part of the way. We still got to see some waterfalls and cool rock formations along the way, though:
Me and Grotto Falls

Since we didn't get to hike as far as we had planned, we decided to check out another trail further back on the road, and walked out to Palisade Falls, which were awesome:

We climbed a little further than the trail and got to the top of a rock outcrop, and the view was amazing. You can see Hyalite Lake in the background on the right.
Overall it was a fun day, and I'm glad I got to explore part of Hyalite. There's tons of stuff to do back there, including camping, fishing, a cabin, mountain biking, and rock climbing. In the winter, you can cross country ski, snowshoe, and ice climb. Basically, it's an outdoor paradise. I'd highly recommend exploring it if you come visit.
