To the G!

Beginning Our Hike!



 In Pleasant Grove, you can see the G on the side of the mountain, similar to the Y or the U seen in Provo or Salt Lake.  We've always wondered if you could actually hike to the G without bushwhacking your way to the top so we tried it out!  It seems that you can :).  It's really easy to get to the trail head.  You just take Battle Creek Drive/200 S as far up as you can, basically.  You'll find a gravel parking lot and a sign that says Kiwanis Park.  After passing the pavilion, you'll see a thin, steep path--take that one!  You'll see a strange yellow structure that lets you know you're on the right trail (picture at the bottom).  It was a really fun hike and we even ate fried chicken once we got to the G!

Tony is excited to hike to the G!

Two paths:  Take the skinny one that doesn't look like ATV's use it frequently

It starts to get greener the closer you get to the G.  You can see it there in the background!

Nice and shady.  At this point you're almost there.

Getting closer!

Yeah, I kissed the G when we got there.

We finally got the the G we've been seeing for the past year!

This is the strange yellow structure to look for to make sure you're on the right path
