Happy New Year! Don't you think that a hike in nature is a wonderful way to start a new year on the Byway? I love this tradition. Today we hiked out into the canyon between Black Lava Butte and Flat Top Mesa in Pipes Canyon and then up onto Flat Top Mesa. It was a beautiful day with blue skies, sun and temperatures in the 60s. Perfect. I am so excited that soon - hopefully before 2013 - this will be our backyard!
