Hiking Mt. Ogden

The boys went out for another big hike last weekend. They tackled Mt. Ogden, and although they didn't reach the summit they had an exhilarating, exhausting hike. Next time they plan to hike to the top, then take the Snowbasin gondola down the other side! That way they won't feel so exhausted with the thought that every step they take up the mountain is a step they will have to take back down. Several years ago Kent and I hiked to the top then went down the Snowbasin side of the mountain. It was fun, but also very exhausting. Well, you won't see us making an attempt at Everest anytime soon! Mountaineers we are not! But day hikers? For sure!!

They even found large snow drifts up near the top.

And, of course, the post wouldn't be complete without the flower Kent picked for me!
