We watched the weather forcast and thought we saw a window of no rain in the morning on Sunday so we decided to hike up Grandeur Peak. Some may recall the fateful hike last year with the dogs when we had to rescue Cub off the mountain with a wheelbarrow. Not wanting a repeat of that we left the dogs at home. As we started hiking we found ourselves alongside 3 other people. Two were Russian young men and a young girl from Tennessee who played the Cello and was in town for some instruction in the Suzuki method. It made for interesting conversations on the way up and down. It was about 2 1/2 hours up and about 1 1/2 hours down. The weather was cool and crisp which would have made for comfortable hiking had it not been for the 3,000 feet of elevation gain. We timed the weather correctly. Dark clouds moved in as we were driving home. We really like getting high in Utah.
