Mount Nebo has been bagged. It’s the tallest peak in the Wasatch mountains at 11928 ft.  We took this picture two weeks ago when we did a family drive on the Nebo Scenic Byway.  Bytheway, if you haven’t driven this byway, you should.  It’s very pretty.

Here are at the beginning of the trail, catching our first view of Nebo.  It’s the tall peak on the left side of the center mountain mass called North Peak.

We’re on the west side of that same North Peak mountain now, looking at the ridgeline we’ll climb up to summit Nebo.

At the top of the first false peak before the real one.

We made the summit. Such great views up there, and it was a wonderful day.

I gave Kathryn a call to wish Ashley well on her soccer game and cheer for her from the mountain top. They’re down there in the distance.

We made it down without any issues. It was a great hike, and fun to bag another peak.

Mount Olympus has been bagged.  As you’re heading East on I-215, it’s the peak on the rocky spine on the first mountain.  It’s a really steep hike, ascending almost as much vertical as hiking Timpanogos, but in about 1/2 the distance.  It was a fantastic day, and the views were awesome.

The push from the saddle up to the peak got even steeper, and turned into a scramble in several places.

The Summit.  We’ll bag Loan Peak sometime this summer too.
