Rock Canyon Provo

We arrived all peachy after a short quiet our ride. I had some daylight left and my mother in laws car so i filled up on Five Star BBQ and headed for the closest trail. Having never been in Rocky Canyon I went for it. It was warmer than expected as I got onto the trail but I felt like a million bucks. I made. a steady pace passing rock climbers, hikers and wanderers. The trail was not much more of a trail, more of a road and that was fine cuase it was going uphill and I had a nice river raging as the landscape changed as I got higher. I had a lovely idea of taking the right fork trail and loop over to the Y. I had to find my way across the river and just barely did, now I was on narrow trail, it was getting dark, feeling good but feeling a little spooked as no one was around and I started hitting snow fields and the thought of no return I smartily turned around and made a nice run and walk back to the car. If I proceeded I am sure I might have met my doom or just taken a really long time. Washed my face in the stream and walked to the car, I couldn't believe how many people were still out in the dark enjoying.
