High Adventure to King's Peak

So I realize that this blog has both Chantell's and my name on it but let's face it she is the only person to have blogged here for the past two years! But enough is enough, it's time I take a turn and give a little update to the world.

Last week I went on a week long, 50 miler scout camp trip to the High Unitas in eastern Utah. We hiked, camped, fished, hiked, saw some moose, hiked, climbed King's Peak, and oh did I mention we hiked. Well actually the leaders did most of that hiking and playing around while the kiddies hid from the mosquito's in their tents! All in all it was a blast! Except for the part of being away from Chantell and Presley for a few days :( that was not so fun.

This is one of many stops on our way into base camp.

This waterfall was awesome! We could see it from camp. And on the last day we decided to test our strength by pushing boulders off the cliffs into the river below! Ya know typical man stuff!

Standing on top of the waterfall looking back toward camp. We camped at Henry's Lake, the second one in the picture and fished in the streams and lake!

Henry's Lake right by camp

A moose just being awesome! A leader spotted this moose just standing in the middle of the lake so we ran over as quick as we could and watched it just hangin out in the lake for probably 5-10 minutes.

Just a cool rock climbing wall/cliff I found while out exploring!

This is the last climb up King's Peak. The picture does this nasty climb NO justice! These are pretty big bolders, I'm sure if you look hard enough you can see people trying to make their way to the top. From here it was about 1/2 mile straight up climb to the top!

The top of Utah!! King's Peak reaches about 14,000 feet!

Instead of hiking the long way down like the way we went up we decided to slide down this HUGE rock slide! Once again the picture really does this NO justice. You can probably find people on there to give you an idea of how high this slide really was! It took at least 30 minutes just to go down.
