Stewart Falls

Friday, the team ran the Stewart Falls loop on the back side of Mt. Timpanogos. There was 15 ft. of snow at the falls, and the creek had dug a tunnel through it.

 Several of the bolder, older athletes got under the falls.We had a very fun time, with just a few crash-and-burns on the way down the trail.
