Mindy and I hiked from the Albion Basin parking lot at Alta up through Catherine's Area to the top of the Supreme lift. The hike wasn't too difficult, and it was cool seeing all the terrain I had skied during the winter without snow. Before the final approach to the top, we dropped down onto the other side of the ridge for a bit, which gave me a good perspective on how Alta and Brighton ski areas are virtually connected to one another.

Silver Fork Hike
Mindy and I hiked up Silver Fork drainage today. The trail passes some old mines on the way to a wide-open cirque with yet another old mine. The hike to the cirque was not steep, but it was fairly long.
