May 18- one of our last hikes before the end of the school year. Once summer begins, our time and hikes are with our families. As it should be.
Stewart Falls
I also got a frequent hiker pass for Timpanogos Cave.
On one of the last days of school, when nothing significant was happening, Camille skipped class and hiked Timp with me.
Another hike we did as a ward family to Ensign Peak. This was in preparation for the youth Pioneer Trek.
July 26, 1847, two days after the Mormon pioneers entered this valley, Brigham Young and party climbed to this point and with the aid of field glasses, made a careful survey of the mountains, canyons, and streams. In the group were Heber C. Kimball, Wilford Woodruff, George A. Smith, Ezra T. Benson, Willard Richards, Albert Carrington and William Clayton. Wilford Woodruff, first to ascend the peak, suggested it as a fitting place to "set up an ensign." (Isaiah 11:12). It was then named Ensign Peak. Subsequently, the stars and stripes were raised here.
