Davis Creek Hike


We were having such beautiful weather the first of November that we decided to go hiking. We have never hiked in Davis County and found the Davis Creek Hike on the internet. We packed the kids up and drove up to the trailhead. The leaves had already turned, but it was still a very pretty hike. There are waterfalls along the way and we decided to try and make it to the first one and then decide if we would go on. The first waterfall wasn't very far up the hill, but it was slow going with the short legs in the family. It was such a pretty waterfall. The mountains came together and the little creek ran right in between them and on down the mountain.
After spending a little bit of time at the first waterfall we decided to try and go on until we reached the Pretty Valley. It was going to be a couple miles and after a few switchbacks we realized that we weren't going to make it with Ryker and Sawyer. We did make it to the rock they call El Capitan and that's where we had our picnic and stopped to rest. The hike was really fun as a family and hopefully we will be able to finish it sometime soon.
