Bridal Veil Falls










Dennis and I went "hiking/nature walking" yesterday to Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon. When we made it to the waterfall, we saw that there were a few people that had hiked up pretty high on the falls, so we were like, if they can do it, we can do it. So we started off, hiking right along the water, in slippery, sandy, not stable dirt. I almost died at least 3 times... Needless to say, we finally made it to the top and upon arrival, we looked to our left and lo and behold, there was a well beaten path leading all the way up to the top. We took the road less traveled by and have battle wounds to prove it.
We followed our hike with a bike ride accompanied by Dennis' adorable nieces on my AMAZINGLY refurbished bike (check back soon for a post about that!) and then decided to get dinner. Now Dennis has never been to Red Robin before, which is pure blasphemy so we looked up the nearest restaurant online and set off to find it.... Our plan was foiled. Instead of finding Red Robin we spent a half hour in the car, lost, rocking out full voiced to the radio. At which point we decided we were soooo hungry that instead of Red Robin, we were craving Chuck A Rama, and we were craving it something bad. So plans changed and the first Chuck A Rama we saw was to be our final destination. Another half hour goes by and all we've seen is Robertos Taqueria, Martas Taco Shop, and Betos Fine Mexican Dining. We were getting desperate. Lost on empty stomachs = Unhealthy. Then finally after an hour of driving around West Valley or better said La Valle del Oeste, we go through a stop light and in the distance we can see the neon red light circling the hunter green roof.... IT WAS A CHUCK A RAMA!! Dennis is thrown into Hysterics, literally. Shrill shrieking squills pierced my ears as he expressed his overwhelming joy to have found our favorite High Quality Buffet. It was well worth the wait.
