Hiking the Y!

So I've decided to start crossing things off my list... and the first to go was hiking the Y on the mountain. This is something I've wanted to do for almost a year now. It looks awesome and fun and a lot of people have done it! So I put it on my "To-do" list while Brady is gone. He'd be proud that I chose to hike the Y and not the U. Hahaha

Anyway, I had a sweet friend, Aubrey come with me. She lives like right underneath the Y so she just led the way! Hahaha when we first got there she told me it's really tough at the beginning. So I braced myself as much as I could. I brought two water bottles. One frozen, one just cold. And let me tell you, I went through the cold one REAL fast! It was super tough at the beginning. I did not expect to be that out of shape. It's awful! So I almost died like a trillion times, and I should have taken my inhaler, but I didn't so I have to remember next time!

It took a while, and a few people past us but we finally made it! And boy was it pure joy to see that big, white, Y on the mountain! They have the final post at the "fork" where you can choose to go up hill another trillion miles (or so it feels) and go to the top of the Y or another, flat, more awesome trail that goes to the bottom. And as a first timer I decided the bottom would be rather nice. I needed to sit down anyway. It was really cool. We sat on the Y and just overlooked the city!! Provo is so pretty from up high :) Trees are everywhere and the atmosphere is so nice! :) I've come to love Provo like I've come to love Logan. I had a lot of fun, and the walk back was a piece of cake and it went really fast! I'm so glad my friend came with me :)
