Let's hike a mountain when...

So I went hiking and it was really great. It always feel good. I went with my crazy roommates. Here are some pictures.
This is us when we got to the Y.  I don't like that hike.  It is a means to an end.

This is the canyon that we hiked up.  This is one of most beautiful parts of the hike.

About half way up the canyon we had quite a bit of shade.  The leaves were really green.

This is at the base of one of the meadows that has flowers later in the summer.


This is the top of the meadow and where most people stop but we kept going to the top

Also it has flowers all over the place.  Yellow, white, pinks, everywhere but later in the summer.
When we got to the top we built this 3ft tall "good omen" pillar.  We built it for good omens.

View of the valley.

View of the mountains and the valley.

The mountains behind us.  They were quite a bit larger.  One of the ones behind us has parallel lines running all along the mountain.  That was one of the projects that President Roosevelt made Utahns do as part of the New Deal in the Great Depression.  They made those to prevent erosion and to have something to work at.

These are the flowers that are growing in the field.  Good ender.
