Christmas Day walk up Butterfield Canyon
hikers: Ethan, Seth, Annie, Landon, Mom, Dad
distance: maybe a mile up and then back
trail: Butterfield Canyon road
Sometimes the line between a walk and a hike blurs. This was a very enjoyable Christmas day walk on the road up Butterfield Canyon. During winter the road is gated at the bottom of the canyon and that is where we parked and started our walk.
We passed other people walking their dogs and runners but it was not crowded. It get prettier after the gate and barricade.

The road was dry at the gate and there were more and more patches of snow the further we went. We saw various remains from an animal that had been torn apart. That sounds disgusting but it was actually more interesting than gross. After all this was a nature walk.
Beauty. Nature.
the end 😀
