One of my yoga teachers mentioned to another student that she was training to climb Mt. Whitney in September. Nuff said, I have another hiking partner!

We took a hike up Ben Lomond Peak yesterday. A long slog (16.6 miles) and no matter how hard you try to avoid it, in Utah in July, you end up descending in 90 degree heat. Aside from that, it was a great day – not many people up on the trail, amazing wildflowers and clear views from the top.
