Naomi Peak is the high point (9,984) in Cache County, as well as the highest peak in the Bear River Mountains of Utah and Idaho. After exploring Logan Canyon, it was time for a hike.
Ricks Spring grotto in Logan Canyon |
It's okay to play in the water, but don't drink it or you will get sick |
This 1907 log cabin was home to the first forest ranger in Logan Canyon |
This corner shows the chinking and dovetail notches of the hewn-log cabin |
Starting out on the Naomi Peak Trail at Tony Grove Lake |
Naomi Peak is barely visible in the distance (top center) |
Much of the terrain was moderately rocky, different than most of the trails we hike |
We are almost there . . . soon we will share the summit with a few other hikers |
Looking down at Cherry Peak |
Time for some snacks |
Here we are at the top of Naomi ( 9,984 ft.) with smoky skies in the distance |
Looking down towards Smithfield |
Great scenery like this keep us longing for the mountains |
The Wilderness Boundary |
We spotted these butterflies on the hike down |
I could not find a name for these, so I'll call them Phyllis Dillers |
Seeing Tony Grove Lake means we are almost back to the Trailhead . . . 7 miles RT |
What a beautiful place to end our hike
