A hike up Buffalo Peak, Utah

We hiked up Buffalo Peak, which is north of Squaw Peak, in Utah Valley. We didn't know it existed a few weeks ago until some friends told us about the hike; it turned out to be a nice walk. It is only about .5 miles each way, and the peak is about 8,000 feet, a few hundred feet higher than Squaw Peak.

 We saw a family of wild turkeys on the road to the trail head.

 The start of the trail is pretty flat.

 We walked through fields of wildflowers.

 The scenery was quite impressive.

 The last part of the trail got a bit steep, but it was fine for the children.

On the trail back to the car. It is strange to think that this area is only about 1/2 hour drive from our house.
