Decided to do a little hike to Donut Falls. I went with a co-worker, his son and his sons friend and we did a Big Cottonwood Canyon day. We hiked to the waterfall then I took them to Silver Lake and Willow Heights (2 previous posts).
Anyways Donut Falls is a 20 minute family hike, lots of kids and families doing this at 11 am. And there was no sign for me to take a picture of like I always do so this road sign will have to do today. Put a small video at the bottom of the falls
cool stream crossing area
snow and frost. It was cold
darn because I really wanted to go swimming in 40 degree water
here it is, not too big now that its the end of the water season. Probably cooler in the spring with the snow melt
here's how it got its name. The water made a hole through the rock and goes straight through it

Lower falls
back at Silver Lake. The stream is frozen solid
Silver Lake with snow capped mountains
and back at Willow Heights, all the leaves are off the Aspens after last weeks snowfall

Tyler and his friend being silly
old mine shaft I spotted coming home from my Willow Heights hike 2 weeks ago...
we decided to check it out.... 
only goes maybe 10 yards till an iron gate prevents you from going any further
I stuck my camera through the gate and took this picture, it was pitch black so it was interesting to see what was back here. You see the old mine cart flipped on its side.
