Battle Creek Falls Hike

A hike with a pregnant mama and 5 tots. What an adventure! We weren’t sure where we were headed but ended up at Battle Creek Falls in Pleasant Grove.I carried Liza most of the way as she was a very ‘deliberate’ hiker. Hannah helped out so much with carrying water and then Liza. When the going got rough… we though of scripture heroes who had to do hard things. Mormon & Moroni came to mind… those who had to travel along and hide from the wicked Lamanites. I’m sure they hiked many a mountain to make it to Hill Cumorah. Smile.

We made it to the first bit of water and then turned around. The clouds on this hike are always so cool. The boys found dust hills, shale rock slides, rocks, and sticks to entertain themselves.

Tru was the dust hill boy. He threw a handful straight into Max’s eye. Boy-howdy! He obviously ended up dirtier than anyone and he didn’t mind a bit.

We ended with a picnic snack on the shaded benches nearby. Overall, a good experience.
Hiking always builds character and helps those with a grouchy spirit learn to appreciate a bit of nature.
