Hiking up the mountain

Our combined youth activity this month was to hike up to Ensign Point Peak. It was a pretty good hike.

Ensign Peak is a prominent hill on the northern edge of the Salt Lake Valley. On July 26, 1847, two days after arriving in the Salt Lake Valley, Brigham Young and seven other pioneer leaders climbed the hill to survey the valley. From its summit they laid out in their minds the city they intended to build.

Once we reached the top, we had a little devotional and testimony meeting with the youth.

As we were wrapping things up, the clouds started to gather above us.

We weren't fast enough...it really started to come down as we were descending. It was actually quite refreshing. I think we are ready for our Pioneer Trek coming up next month.
