We climbed up to Squaw Peak, which overlooks Utah Valley. It was a pretty fun hike. Well, once I got past the I-can't-breathe part. It wasn't the hardest hike I've ever done (that distinction will probably always lie with Mount Timpanogos, which I hiked almost 2 years ago), but it was challenging in its own right.
We hiked with two couples from our ward, the Rostrums and the Sharps. The Sharps had to leave early because Nate had to work, which was sad. But we and the Rostrums finally made it to the top after almost 4 hours of hiking. (It only took us two hours to make it down...going down is so much easier...)
All in all, it was a lot of fun. I'm glad we went...and that I made it! haha.
After almost 3 hours of hiking...yeah, I'm looking rough :)

Pretty meadow.
Us on the top of Squaw Peak. Husband decided it would be funny to hang his feet off the edge of one of the ledges...I was slightly less amused.
Tim and Jen, mountain climbers extraordinaire.
The Provo Temple.
Our apartment building is right in the middle of this picture.

I thought this mountain was very pretty. It's just south of Squaw Peak across Rock Canyon.

Wow, what a beautiful hike! I'm glad you made it, I'm even more glad you made it back! And for some reason unknown I'm not at all surprise that Steven was hanging off cliff edges.
Ask him to tell you about the time he jumped over the edge of our apartment building (it was three stories from the side we went off)...on second thought maybe you shouldn't ask him, haha!
Yeah...I heard that story. Crazy kid. :)
Wowie! What beautiful pictures! Hiking is certainly not my forte but I think it's great that you and Steven made it to the top. Good for yall!
