Spanish Fork Canyon

Oh how I miss the Utah Mountains! While we were in Utah this summer we spent a lot of time hiking, exploring and picnicking in the mountains. My Dad has a Rhino, and so we spent a lot of time riding around the mountains in this. One of my favorite canyons is Spanish Fork. I have a lot of fond memories of this canyon. When I was little my dad would take us to this place called "The Tub". We took the boys up there on the Rhino. The road was closed, but we hiked down in so they could see it.
It doesn't take much to entertain my boys....some water, dirt, rocks, and sticks and they are in heaven. They loved Grandpa's Rhino and the wind blown look it gave them when they were done!

FFYI: For those of you who think my boys were riding around the mountains on a Rhinoceros, this is what a Rhino is:

Glad you posted that about the Rhino--I always just call it a 4-wheeler-type-vehicle. Now people will know!
