Setting out on our first real training hike for 11k With May. Not only was it a great day to get out, it was an even better day to be together as a family training for our 11,000 foot peaks we will be doing this summer. 
The Big Springs trail is an easily accessed trail that takes you up to one of the best views in the Wasatch. Lots of elevation gain in a short amount of time, but it's worth every bit of effort. It is the eastern access to the summit of Cascade peak that sits just shy of 11,000 feet at 10,900. 
Utah never gets old!
