On July 9th, I met up with a bunch of other geocachers to hike up to Grandview Peak. Here's some pictures.
Everybody gathered at Rocket Park in Bountiful at about 6:30am.

Taking a much needed rest at the peak.

Still resting (believe me, that last ascent is a killer!).

Recovering back at the trail head. Thanks for the food, water, and Motrin, Aim High!
