Provo Falls & Mirror Lake Day Trip

Acting on a tip, we took the day and drove up the Mirror Lake Highway to see the Provo Falls.  They were pretty cool.  I was amazed at the amount of water coming down with this being such a dry year.  I could only imagine what a wet year would be like.
 We tromped around on the rocks.
 And enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
 And, of course, threw some rocks.
The sheer power of the falls was amazing.  They just kept going on and on with numerous cascades.
 After all that tromping about some of us were ready for lunch.  We drove up the road a little ways and had lunch by one of the 72 named lakes in the Mirror Lake Area.  That's a lot of lakes.
 Of course, you can't drive the Mirror Lake Highway without stopping at Mirror Lake.  It really is a beautiful lake, and there were a lot of people there that day enjoying it, including us.
We had a great time with the drive, playing raod trip games, and seeing new things.
