Cancer Wellness House Hike - Snowbird, UT

On Saturday, I hiked to the top of Snowbird with Mindy & Ashley. It was a benefit hike for the Cancer Wellness House. The hike is 3.5 miles with a 3,000 foot vertical gain. We hiked to the top and took the tram back down the mountain. We had a good time. It's definitely a tough hike, but we made it and it felt good to finish. The weather was overcast. Towards the end the clouds rolled in, and it even started to snow a bit at the top. It was 40 degrees at the top...kind of cold. The cooler weather felt nice while we were hiking though. It was perfect weather for a hike.

These little kids were such good sports. They sang at the top all afternoon in the cold.
