Soldier Hollow! This was one of the venue sites for the 2002 Winter Olympics with Cross Country Skiing. It's a gorgeous location just past Heber and Midway with a stunning view of mountains all the way around. When the inversion gets to be too much in Salt Lake Valley, it's a wonderful place to get out of it and see the sun.
We met up with the cousins and so our group had 13 people ranging from 5 to 68....woo hoo!! You get a ticket for 2 hours on the tubing hill and you can go as many times as you can haul your tube to the rope tow. The last time we were there, Gabe was 4 and we ended up pulling him in his tube the whole time. I think we got him out once to let the blood flow in his legs. This year Gabe was an absolute trooper! He hauled his tube from the bottom of the hill back to the rope tow every time. Strong work Dude!!
One run down the hill had almost everyone in the family. We bundled all the tubes together (much harder than it looks) and slid down at a pretty good speed....here is the video:
Another run was just our little crowd:
And then Carmen and I decided to do our own video. I was so focused on making sure I had the camera in the right direction and not dropping it - I nearly made myself sick!! I wish I could have caught Carmen's happy laughter instead of my own....oh, she laughed!!
