We Made It...Finally!

I've been at BYU for three plus years now and it's taken me this long to finally do something most people do as Freshmen. Abby and I mustered up the courage to finally hike the Y. It was the first time for both of us, but definitely not the last. We've made a combined goal this summer to become tan and fit and regular hiking is a nice way to combine the two. It took us about an hour to get to the top and back to the car. With some rough calculations I think it was about 2.25 miles round trip. It definitely made me huff and puff. Luckily I didn't see anyone I know till we were on our way down. There are 11 switchbacks and some of them feel completely vertical. We were fortunate enough to avoid any serious injuries and falls. I included a map of the trail so you can see the intensity. The picture of our feet is evidence of us making it to the top. Way to go, us!
