Since Joe has been on vacation we have done our share of hiking. This one we just did last Thursday. It was one of our biggest and most excited about.. It is called The Witches Castle (don't know why) or the wind caves. It is up the Logan Canyon and was one of the most amazing I have done so far up here in Northern Utah. The climb was quite strenuous but once it got to the top it leveled out and was all worth it at the end. There are these caves throughout the hike but the main one at the top is were the wind has come through it for years and finally made a cave out of it or tunnel really.
The hike was 1.8 miles up and 1.8 back, wasn't to bad considering most hikes we have done all summer have been around the same. The only thing I noticed that was different was my breathing because of the elevation. You forget how high you are up already in the canyon and then you hike even higher.
I loved this hike and was just amazed at the beauty of it all. Pictures really don't do it justice. It's always better in person. The cave was so amazing! We sat and even had our lunch that we packed there. When you are coming down you just don't want to leave, you just want to take in more... but, I guess thats what another hike is for. 2011
