Boulder Mountain Hike


In the middle of July, Rob was able to go with the Young Men on a two-day, one-night hike to the top of Boulder Mountain in central Utah.  This was to help prepare them for their upcoming 45-mile hike to summit Mt. Whitney in California.  More to come on that later.

Over the course of 15 miles, they hiked from 7000 feet above sea level to 11000 feet.  Rob said he could definitely notice less oxygen in the air at that level!  But they had a great time and are looking forward to climbing 14,500 ft. Mt. Whitney in a few weeks. 
















I think Rob would prefer to stick to camping with the Scouts but our Bishop is a huge fan of hiking and had these trips planned before we arrived here.  However, Rob is glad he had the opportunity to spend this time with the boys and see some beautiful parts of the country.

The views were spectacular!
