There's a popular trail to hike that takes you up to it. After making it through my freshman year having never hiked it, I kind of had this mindset that I would never do it. Especially after hearing Ashley Lisonbee tell me how hard it was, and especially for us Florida girls who aren't used to the elevation.
Well, this activity was pretty much unavoidable. I'm an FHE group leader and we hiked the Y as a ward FHE activity, so I pretty much had to go.
Me at the bottom of the trail. Cool view, huh?
Everyone kept saying it wasn't hard.
Well, they were wrong.
I was dead by about the second switch-back, and there are twelve. I honestly thought I wouldn't make it to the halfway point, let alone the top. But I forced myself to get to the top since we were doing a little devotional at the Y. And after nearly passing out from lack of oxygen, I finally made it.
Conqueror!
Dead tired
It was definitely worth it, just for the awesome view of Utah Valley. Plus, we planned it so we got there just as the sun was going down over the west mountains, and so there was a beautiful sunset as well. Just lovely.

Oh, and did I mention that I love my ward?
