Ensign Peak

This morning, being the 24th of July (for those who don't know it is a state holiday in Utah. It is the day the pioneers settled into the valley in 1847), we decided to hike up to Ensign Peak. Ensign Peak (you don't have to read if you already know) is where Mormon leaders hiked up to survey the valley two days after they reached the Salt Lake Valley. This peak gives a view of the entire valley and is pretty cool. The girls were troopers. Even though the hike was shorter than our last hike, it was steeper, but the girls walked the entire way! We had fun reading the different plaques about pioneers and spent a little time on top just enjoying the cooler weather; our thermometer read 71 degrees on top, it was closer to 90 at the bottom. Here are some pictures, enjoy.
