Kings' Peak

Brandon went on a scout camp backpacking adventure up to King's Peak, the highest peak in Utah. He did a good job making it the whole 26 miles and carrying all the boys' food. They made the trek in 3 days.

Taking a break along the 8 mile hike to the camping point on Day 1.

Most of the hike was along a river.

Check out the packs. Some of the boys are so little and their packs were nearly bigger than themselves.

Another break!

I love this picture with the summit reflecting in the little lake/pond.

This is the last part to summit on Day 2. Brandon says it looks shorter than it really is.

This is another angle from the trail up to the summit.

The view from the summit.

My cute Brandon at the top on Day 2.

These were the only pictures with him in it.

Instead of taking the trail back down, they just went straight off the side. Looks rocky.

There were 6 boys and 3 leaders and minus the complaining from a few, they all had a blast. The boys raved about it once they got back and as only boys would do, counted up their mosquito bites to see who had the most. The funniest part was when one of the deacons was feeling around by his ear and said out loud: "I can't tell if this is a mosquito bite or a zit! Oh well, I'm counting it anyway." Teenage boys, sigh.
