Whew, long title.
I have been trying to figure out all the names of the canyons in Utah Valley. Growing up, of course I knew about all the "big" ones because we went to them all the time - AF, Provo, Hobble Creek and Spanish Fork canyons. But this past year I've been discovering the others and it's really been awesome. I haven't visited or hiked in all of them yet, but I plan to. I had to look up the names of some of these with help of Google. Maybe someone else is looking for it too, so here it is, and I hope to some day put this on to a picture or drawing for all the visual people like me. If you see that I have any of them wrong or missed any, please let me know!
Canyons of Utah Valley, north to south:
AF canyon
Grove Creek Canyon - north of the G
Battle Creek Canyon- off 200 S. PG, south of the G
Dry Canyon - off 200 S. Lindon/ 2000 N. Orem
Provo Canyon
Little Rock Canyon
Rock Canyon - east of Provo temple, North of the Y
Slate Canyon- About 2000 S. Provo, South of the Y
Hobble Creek Canyon - Springville
Maple Canyon - Mapleton
Spanish Fork Canyon

2012
MY mountain. :) |
- Hike Mount Timpanogos
- Train for a sprint triathlon to race in 2013 (300 meter swim, 12 mile bike, 3 mile run)
- Raise my GPA (current 3.42 – get closer to 3.75)
- Teach my 4-year-old to read
- Read the entire Book of Mormon
- Try snowshoeing
- Camp in the winter time with our new sleeping bags
- Ice skate
- Volunteer with teenagers and decide whether to teach Jr. High or High School
- Successfully complete savings matching program (plus one more payment)
- Expand Baby Care Cupboard (maybe)
The past couple of years I have chosen only a small number of goals that I felt were reachable by summer and that I pretty much had planned to do anyway. It's very fulfilling to be able to say that I actually completed all my goals for the year. Not like all those decades I spent making a New Year's goal to become thin and have my life turn around to complete perfection, and end up not meeting a single one of my unreasonable goals. I do have some big goals this year but I think they're all reachable. The only one I'm worried about is the mountain - still don't know who will go with me, who to train with, or if I'll be able to get into good enough shape in time to go this year. If not, I'll continue training and hike it next year!
