We guided some friends to the top of the Wellsvilles last week. It was amazing! Jon and Braden go up there all the time, but this was my first. It was a steep ole hike, but I loved every step. (even though my gortex boots gave me yucky blisters)
We slept at the top sans tent. We had taco soup and smores for dinner. I wish I could put how funny our friends were -- apparently this was their first camping trip! We hiked and hiked. This mountain is in the guiness book of world's records for being the tallest mountain from base to height in the U.S.
We left from Rattlesnake Trail in Sardine Canyon and hiked to the top - slid down the glaciers in garbage bags and slept over. The next day we hiked down the other side. We ended up at my parent's orchard where we gorged ourselves on cherries from the trees. Then we soaked our weary feet at Crystal Springs. It was a lovely little vacation. We sweated our guts out! We decided that not just anyone could take on this venture. We are all in great shape, and it was still pretty crazy!!!
