see for yourself

Last weekend Mr Renn commandeered our to-do list, and we had a field trip to visit the Grotto in Payson Canyon and get our fall color fix.

Payson Canyon

The Grotto trail is the perfect hike for small kids.  It's less than a mile to hike both in and out, and there aren't any steep inclines.  There may be significantly more water other times of year. But as of our trip, had one of our kids fallen in the stream, they would have been wet but perfectly safe.

 And if you happen to visit in October, bring your camera.  And a few extra memory cards.  The canyon was crawling with hobby photographers, and for good reason.  It was a stunning drive, and it smelled just like October should.  Sometimes taking a break and running away (as a family) turns out to be the best idea.
