Since we couldn't afford a major trip this summer, we spent a few days in the city. One excursion was hiking Mount Timpanogas. I remembered hiking there as a teenager and didn't remember it being too difficult. Obviously, I'm a little older now and the hike was a difficult, but very satisfying one. We hike about 1200 feet in 1 1/2 miles so it was pretty much straight up with lots of switchbacks. Here is our wholes gang that made it to the top.

Here is Syd & TJ learning how to be junior rangers.

The kids found a rock on the ground and had to pose with it - pretend they got hit over the head. I assure you, no one was actually hurt.

We thought this made Syd look like she had bunny ears and just had to get a picture!

We needed proof so here we are somewhere up the mountain. Isn't nature beautiful!
