Lone Peak Mountain

Saturday, August 2, 2008, we decided to hike Lone Peak Mountain. It is this mountain that is detached from the mountain range. It just sits all by itself. (Hence, the name.) David had heard there was a cave at the top of this trail so we decided to give it a try. We took Acaylia and Ruby with us.

This trail looks decent from this view, but it was steep, and it was made from loose rocks that slipped under your feet. So we were practically crawling up it. Micah cried the whole way up and down. Maxx said he never want to hike this mountain again. There were a few scrapes, but we made it to the top. And at the top we found this...


No cave, just a indent and lots of graffiti!! (We were a little disappointed! Maybe the cave is somewhere else. But we were not about to go looking for it. Not with all these kids.)



Maxx at the top. He actually did a really good job climbing the mountain. But it was steep. So me and him were buddies.

Matthew is a natural born climber. He was all over that mountain. He was awesome!! He climbed up and down that thing like it was a piece of cake!!

Acaylia is "queen" on the mountain!!

I'm not sure what Madi is doing in this picture. Maybe sunbathing!! She takes after her mom! Nothing like getting a tan after a hard day of hiking.


Teamwork. These two helped each other get down the mountain. It was slippery! They just held on to each other and did not fall once. Me and Maxx should have been on their team.

Micah at the bottom of the mountain. He sure was glad to be down!!


Little Ruby! You can't see her very well, but she was a trooper. She fell on her bum so hard and did not even cry. You can't see it very well but she is pulling the face of "what did you get me into!"


Luckily this mountain is right by a playground. So after their hard work they got to play for a while!~ All said and done I thought it was fun. I always like an adventure.
