Lazarow World-Hike-About

Squaw Peak is in the large city of Provo, Utah. It's most convenient for hikers as access is easy; effectively, it's in the city . It's a more than good challenge with an elevation gain of 2,800 feet. Views include the city, other surrounding mountains, many snow-capped, and yet once out of the canyon below, one attains the feeling of being in the backcountry. That quality of hike is not easy to find (within a city) except in Cape Town and few other places. Next door is the "Y", a mountain we hiked up the following day which is at least 400 feet higher. We were able to view the two peaks we reached from each other, especially when looking down from the higher one. Also, the experiences were mostly different. One other point we found impressive is the quality and quantity of blooming flowers covering parts of the mountains—truly beautiful. Jen in the canyon, after returning from the peak, left rear.

All work and no play makes Jack and Jill a dull couple. Maybe that's the case anyway but along this hike in the semi-desert, we came across amazing rocks, boulders and checkerboard mountains. We went climbing, frolicking and we suppose, hiking. Mother nature shows us a different part of her each day. No scene is ever the same. No further words are necessary (almost); the pictures tell the story: He looks a little checkered; maybe because he can't get down. Fascinating position. Climbing up the rock although she is low on the screen. Cheers, Jenni and Jeffrey
