Hiking Y Mountain with Cousins

We planned several fun activities during the week of the wedding. The first activity was hiking Y mountain.



My sister and her husband went to BYU many years ago and wanted their kids to experience the hike. We arrived first with Grandpa and kept watch for them to reach the trail head.


It was a joyous reunion of cousins!
The kids were excited to reach the Y.



It isn't very far up, but lots of switch backs and steep terrain make for a sweaty hike!




We had shade at the beginning, but soon the sun came out and it got hot!




My sister could be a real pioneer...she carried her baby (who slept the whole way) all the way to the top.



We took advantage of every bench to rest and take pictures.




My brother-in-law soon became the carrier of tired little legs.



"Thanks, Dad!"



Sometimes a helping hand on either side helped a tired one reach the top of the next switchback.




Cute cousins!




Girl power!





Another set of tired legs.




We finally reached a point were we could see the end of the trail!




Success!



A gorgeous view from the top.



The cousins!




My sister's family





Strong conquerors of the mountain!



The walk downhill was much easier!




Getting to hold Grandpa's hand on the way down was pretty cool! What a fun hike!
