One of our early season hikes this year has been the the Antennas. It is called the Antennas because it follows a dirt maintenance road used to get up to the radio towers installed at the top of the foothills overlooking Salt Lake City. A portion of the hike actually connects with the Bonneville Shoreline Trail system. I like this hike because not very many people use this area and it has some great views of the valley and the snow-capped Wasatch Mountains. On our hike today we saw our first snake of the season. Mary almost stepped on it because I was telling her to "look up at the beautiful mountains" just before I screamed "snake." It was a pretty good sized one. It wasn't a rattlesnake, but looked similar to one.
