Big Cottonwood

It's been hotter than hell here lately, but I imagine all of you are in the same boat. One of the nicer outdoor places we can still go is Big Cottonwood Canyon, as it stays much cooler near the river and creeks. We found a nice big flat rock a little ways up the trail to Lake Blanche. There's nice trees, and the breezes blow mist from the creek waterfalls across the rock. We go up there and eat lunch or a snack on the rock, and look for birds. Lots of black capped chickadees.
