Mormon Flats

I think my favorite part of the trip was hiking from Mormon Flats to the top of Big Mountain. I can't believe that I have never hiked it before and it is in my own county!!! It really gave me an honest idea regarding what these amazing people actually went through. I mean, I felt like I could kind of comprehend the struggles. But when I actually hiked up the mountain thinking the whole time about being in dresses, traveling with wagons, clearing the trail, and dealing with snakes! ( I had two cross my path! Ewww!) What perseverance they had! I can't wait to figure out a way to get an extra field trip to take our students through Henefer and on the hike showing all the amazing history along the way! Cool, cool, cool!
