Ever since moving to this beautiful valley I've had a goal to hike to the 'M' on the mountain! Every time I see the white shining M I say "Someday I'm going to climb to the top of that M!!" Nate did not share my same enthusiasm for this hike, in fact it was not on his list of hikes! Ty had a scout camp one night and while Nate and Ty were at scout camp I took the other three kiddos and we hiked to the M!
If you look closely on the mountain you can see the M we climbed to!
The hike was REALLY steep! Total uphill climb! But totally worth it!
Getting closer! Caleb did amazing! He practically ran up the mountain! Mara did great too, Carder did pretty good but needed a lift half way through and unfortunately I didn't bring the ergo so I had to carry him half the way!
Above the M is a flagpole, we are almost there!
They made it! The sun began to set as we neared the top of the mountain! I'm proud of these cute hiking kids that hiked to top of the mountain to fulfill their mom's crazy goal!
The view from the top was awesome. We could look down below and see the little valley we live near! The kids thought it was fun to see the tiny cars and trucks, and they were even able to identify places like the library, high school, and grocery story!
We did it! My kids were proud of themselves for hiking all that way! Now when we see the M shining on the mountain we can say "We did it! We hiked to the M!!'
