This has been something the girls have asked to do since they knew how to recognize the letter Y. We've been saying we're going to do it for a couple of years now but I've basically been lazy. I climbed it once when I was at BYU but I was with a boyfriend who convinced me to climb straight up instead of taking the trail. BTW he was an idiot. I had an asthma attack and that kind of ruined the whole experience for me. We have spring break this week and I told the girls we could hike the Y one day this week. They did really well and there was little complaining...from them. It's steep and I had already worked out for an hour this morning focusing on my legs. wah. It was a perfect day to hike and we made it up in good time. When we got to the top I was a bit paranoid about the girls falling and it made me wish I had a rope to connect us all together ala Amanda at Seven Peaks. I'm not a fan of heights. It was a fun time with Hanna and Grace and now they can stop bugging me.
Starting out
I'm already tired and I can still see the car.
We made it to the Y!

Wow Shea that looks really high. WTG hiking up there with the girls. They must have loved that adventure.
Wow! It looks a long way to the bottom. The girls had fun I can see. What a gorgeous day you picked. Mom
I hear that is a pretty hard hike. I know when I lived in Logan I would look at the surrounding mountains and think they looked so close and it would be easy to climb them - so one Saturday I headed out and it took me about 2 hours just to get to the edge of town - I made it to a rocky outcrop about 1/4 of the way up and gave up for the day. Hiking is hard! Good work!

Grrr, triple post!!?? What's up with that?
Oh well...here's another to make it four. ;)
Great photos and a wonderful memory for your girls!
Tell me though, is there really a Y up there, or is that just a shape in the rock? I don't know the story behind the Y, and it's making me curious!
It's a manmade Y Ter. It's basically rocks and concrete painted white. It's been there since the early 1900's I think.
Shea...you are looking mighty voluptuous in the third picture. You must tell me what exercises you have been doing to get those beautiful Perky Ta-Ta's!!!!!
