Once again another “must do” just got checked off of our “Summer Bucket List”. We have both wanted to hike Mt. Olympus and so we made plans to do so over Pioneer Day weekend. We got the idea from a friend to start the hike really early and try to catch the sunrise from the top. It’s about a 7 mile hike round trip and takes on average about 3.5 hrs to make it to the top. So there we were 2:15 a.m. a small group of us with flashlights ready to ascend! We tried to invite as many friends as possible but the crew ended up consisting of these few morning warriors: Courageous Colton, Mighty Mandy, Dangerous Dano Bear (Colton’s Sister), Bold Bryan, and Sweet Schmidty! The hike up wasn’t that bad and it was pretty fun heading up in the dark. Bryan thankfully took care of our rattlesnake problem.
Once at the top we took some fun pictures and then relaxed as we watched the sunrise over the mountains. It was beautiful! We wouldn’t have it any other way. We made it down and to our cars by 8:30. We flew down that mountain. We were covered in shade almost the entire way which made for a nice descent. We conquered it! That was one fun hike.
Check that one off the list!
