We also decided to hike the "Y" while we were in Utah. For those of you not familiar with Utah, on the mountain behind BYU campus there is a giant "Y" painted in white. BYU is nicknamed "The Y". Here is a terrible side-shot of the Y.
Some things about hiking to the Y; there is no shade. So if you're hiking in July like we were you will be hot and may possibly die on the trail.
Also, the trail is steep. It's a mountain. There are switchbacks, but it is still an intense climb, especially when carrying a 25lb infant or a toddler on your shoulders.
Hey! We found some shade. Kind of.
We finally made it to the top and the kids had fun cavorting on the Y with their cousins.
We headed down, which was much more pleasant than the ascent.
Scott in his role of Super Dad. I really did feel faint on the way down, so Scott carried both girls. Adam climbed the whole way up and down himself. He's a hiking champ!
