Cliff Bars and Gatorade

On the 30th of July, a small group of adventurers set out to conquer the great Wheeler Peak.

The party started Friday, when Mom, Dad, Janeen, Jen, Riley, and Hyrum arrived in Spring Valley. We had a fun hot dog roast with smores.

Smack that!

The next morning we set out to climb 4 miles (in distance) and 3,000 feet (in elevation).

This was the "easy" part of the hike.

No one really wanted to take pictures at this point.Part of the ranch where Steve works.

Stranger: "Where are you from?"

Steve: "See that house down there?"

Terrific view! And this isn't even the top!

We had so much fun hiking with my family. It is really an incredible experience to be so high. Thank you family for coming with Steve and me. We enjoyed being with you that weekend.

So if anyone wants to feel like a mountaineer one weekend, give us a call.
