Park City Hiking Fun

 Several hikes in Park City.  Getting to know more fun trails.  It helps when you have a pass and can take the chair up and just hike the rolling trails  up high.  So much to see! PCMR to Guardsman Pass.  Amazing. I had good guides.

Broads View! 2020 Hiking Challenge Part II

Broads View! 2020 Hiking Challenge
PART II - PHOTO CONTEST
Nothing to track, just send us a photo!
PART II. What’s up with that?
 
We are nearing the half-way point of the 2020 hiking challenge and it’s been fun seeing how all the participants are doing. Everyone probably slows down a bit during the dog days of summer so we thought of something ALL Great Old Broads and Bros can be a part of – PHOTO SHARING!
 
So, here is the deal. Email your VERY favorite hiking photo (with you in it) to us and tell us the location of the photo and the year it was taken, the name(s) of the people in the photo, and why it’s your favorite. It can be old or new, doesn’t matter, just as long as it’s your favorite. We will post all photos on the BLOG and that will help us get to know one another since it’s impossible to gather together in person. Email your photo as an attachment to greatwasatch@gmail.com.
 
PRIZES WILL BE AWARDED TO:
First to submit a photo
Oldest photo (need year photo was taken to qualify for this prize)
Most scenic photo
Best hat or head covering
Most broads and bros in one photo
Photos must be submitted by the October 17, 2020 deadline.
Prizes will be awarded by the end of October

Please join in the fun and submit your photo today!

And here's the first photo! It's mine so I'm not eligible for any prizes, but I wanted to share this with you. It was taken in 1973 at the top of the Grand Teton in Grand Teton National Park. My boyfriend, and now husband indulged my need to climb this mountain that he had been doing since he was 11. This photo reminds me of the struggle (2 days of hiking and camping on the mountain, one day of climbing) and also the reward I felt when we got back down. Those feelings have stayed with me throughout my life.
