Mount Nebo Hike

There are two things that any one living in Utah Valley for an extended time ought to experience:
  1. Dumpster diving for baked goods
  2. Driving through the Wasatch mountains (Alpine or Nebo Loop) during the autumn color change
And if you have the opportunity, why not hike Mt. Nebo while you’re at it?  I was lucky enough this year to have a spare Saturday the beginning of October just as the colors were most vibrant in the Nebo Wilderness Area.

(Side note: Dumpster diving has been outlawed in Layton, Utah and other places around the country.  And I don't really recommend it for filling your pantry -- I just think it's funny that many college students find dumpster diving a good source of entertainment.  Then again, it is certainly sad to see all that food go to waste.  Check out this video.)
