Our Every Day Drive

As most of you know, Ryan and I live in Logan, but have to make the 45 minute drive every day through Logan Canyon to get to work which is in Garden City/Bear Lake. There are plus and minuses about this drive, but since the seasons have started to change, we've noticed another plus.

I've always thought this canyon was beautiful, but I had never driven it in the fall. It is really amazing. All the trees have changed to their fall colors and look so pretty! Instead of dreading the drive, Ryan and I have actually been enjoying it more now that it is so colorful.

These are pictures I took while driving, so you can see what a sight it is from only your car. Ryan and I have been wanting to go on a hike or something so we can see even more. There is also a really cool stream/river that runs down the whole canyon along side the road that you have a nice view of.

Then there is the occasional cow we will run into. (not literally) But, we probably would if they were as fast as deer, which we've seen, as well as moose and all other kinds of wildlife. We've seen it all, both dead and alive :(

Then there is my favorite part of the drive. Seeing the animal which I had never actually seen alive 'til one of these drives. The turkey! I don't know why I get such a kick out of it, but one september morning we were driving to work, and Ryan pointed out a turkey on the side of the road, I thought it was so random and funny! Then the next day we tried to look for him again and there was a whole heard of them! All out for their morning meal, so I had to snap off these pics and post them. I mean you could probably get out of your car and go grab one, they were just out in the open.

The next day Ryan and I were running late and I guess we missed feeding time. I swear they are only out there at like 8:00 sharp. It really is so funny!

Another thing that is also pretty cool about our drive to work is we sometimes get to see the sunrise (if we're on time) and once the sun is out it gives the lake this cool sparkle look. My camera didn't take the picture too well, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

So, I guess there isn't whole lot more I can tell you about our every day drive, other than Ryan always drives or else he will get car sick and I'm usually dead asleep on the way back, but it's kinda nice to have that drive just to talk and listen to music- even though I guess we could that all day at work... Here are some more pictures, I thought were pretty neat. Enjoy!




I thought his picture was pretty cool with the lake, blue sky and the dark storm clouds just above.
