Squaw Peak

So...before I was invited to go to Zions, I had planned to hike Squaw with my friend Ingrid who I had been trying to reconnect with for a while.  The date was set and we got back from the canyoneering trip the night before.  Needless to say, I was crazy sore....like couldn't walk down the stairs sore...so hiking Squaw Peak was hard to say the least!

I invited my fave cul de sac friends Laurie and Suzette (Suz was sore too!), and Ingrid brought her 16 year old daughter Shannon. We started early and got to the top in about an hour and forty minutes. Luckily there were a couple of nice people at the top to snap some photos of this...yet another, UTAH FIRST for me!

 

Here are my feet on top of the world.... you can see the little temple and then the peak shadow on the right is the peak we are on top of! So cool!  Getting up on top was tough.....

 But nothing like going down.  I had to be brave again and fake it, but each step made me want to cry!  Later that day I drove with the kids and Tricia to Manti.  When my Mom saw me she said I was moving like I was older than her....yes I felt it!
