Happy Hikers

The Andersons are in Salt Lake visiting family, and invited Alexis to climb Mount Olympus with them. The photos were uploaded, but are showing last to first. Click on any photo to see large. Here goes!



Tired at the bottom, ten hours after they began

Climbing down the rocks they earlier scrambled up





Conquering the Summit!


What a view from the top

  1. What beautiful pictures. But, TEN hours??? And they have a little kid with them?! I'm huffing and puffing here in my recliner, just looking at the pictures! Wow. I'd better get back to the gym. :-(

  2. Yeah, I know it's crazy. The hike was only 3.5 miles, but it was over 4,000 feet in elevation. Some of that was rock climbing, almost to the point where they needed ropes.

  3. Now...That's a workout! I bet it was a great experience and adventure in the beautiful mountains of Utah. Blaine, once made a statement about the tiny mountains in NH/VT...by the looks, he was right!
