Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by
the moments that take our breath away.
This cache is part of my discover Farmington series. I do not
measure value in this life by the work I do, the money I make, the
things I have. I measure it by how many moments I spend taking in
the beauty around me. That is why I love Farmington. It is so
beautiful. I can see the mountains basking in the sun from my front
porch, and watch the sun reflect over the Great Salt Lake as it
goes down from my back patio. It is such a beautiful city. From the
mountain terrain to the rural area and wetlands married together
with a quaint historical downtown. I love it here. And I want to
share the beauty of this community with everyone who wishes to
visit.
To get to this cache, drive east on State Street through
historic Farmington. The road will curve and head south. Turn left
just before the cemetary on 500 South. The road will curve and turn
to a road base, this is Little Mountain Road, although there is no
sign giving this name. The trailhead is near UtahJean's
Farmington Sunset Rock, just after the dip in the road. I won't
lie, this is a pretty tough trail, especially in early spring when
the snow is melting. But hey, my six year old made it with me, and
I'm not in great shape. So if we can make it, you can too.
Give yourself some time up here. The cache is great and stocked
with good swag for everybody, but it's placed here for many reasons
and wanted to share them all with you. So make sure you look around
and take in the beauty that surrounds you while you visit here.
Come prepared, wear your hiking boots and bring some water. A
walking stick is suggested, but you'll find many at the trailhead
if you need one. There was still snow covering part of the trail,
and it was very muddy when I placed this cache. So take your time
and be careful.
