This is the VIEW from the Top of the Y, in Provo, UT! It overlooks the whole valley and is BEAUTIFUL up there! When we started this Weight Loss Challenge, I made the goal to hike to the Y again, as I haven't done it since 1996. And before that I did it in 1988, so it was time to make that climb again! I told the Chief my goal 3 weeks ago and while he wasn't excited, he agreed that it would be a healthy activity for our family to do together. All three boys did fantastic. Seth was nervous at first, when he saw the edge and the drop off, but he soon overcame his fears and was leading the family up the mountain. I'm not going to sugarcoat it...it was tough for Scott and I. It took us an hour to go up the 1.2 miles, as we had to rest often. All 3 of the boys did it with flying colors! They found "walking sticks" early in the climb and enjoyed having them. So, let's get to the good stuff...the photos:
Here are my boys at the start of the trail!
We are about a quarter of the way up at this point! Such a beautiful world we live in!
The Chief making his way onward
Yup, I was sweating by this point, but that is good for weight loss, right? I still had the energy to smile!
Here we are at the top, enjoying a much appreciated rest and a little snack!
I love my family!
McKay wanted to climb all over the Y...even though he is afraid of heights, he had no fear up there!
The View from up top. The Y is quite large. I should have gotten a photo from below so you can see the whole Y on the Mountain side.
I love this photo of my men!
Our family can check this off for a family adventure that we accomplished together on July 5, 2010!
