Stewart Falls

Stewart Falls is in Provo canyon and It is a beautiful Waterfall! The Hike up to it is about 2 miles there and 2 miles back. (except it felt longer) My friend, Kathryn, and I Hiked up there on Thursday! It was all basically downhill to the waterfall and all Uphill on the way back. Yeah, We took frequent stops. Plus, It was like a hundred degrees outside! We are lucky to still be alive... Especially with little animals lurking around in the bushes...
