Aaron has been having an adventurous summer. You know that list that you have in the back of your head of things you want to do someday- well Aaron got to do one of those things this summer. Aaron and our neighboor, Brian Gibby and Brian's brother Mike climbed King's Peak. King's Peak is Utah's highest mountain, the top is at 13,528 feet. It took 3 days to climb. Aaron had a backpack that weighed around 50 lbs. He said it was a great experience and he was really proud that he made it!(especially going with Brain who is a 7 foot Mt. Goat!)
To prepare for the trip, Aaron was jogging every night with a 30lbs backpack through the hills behind our house. As a result he has lost around 25lbs.
Later this summer he is going to hike Timp and he is thinking about Lone Peak.
