9-30 At the top of the World... or Utah, at least




At 9600 ft, Brian Head is the highest town in Utah. We decided to go even higher (up to 11000!) on Saturday morning by taking the "Giant Steps" chairlift to the top of Brian Head peak. It was a little bit windy, but nothing we couldn't handle. We were very happy that Gordon was strapped in a carseat!

During the spring and summer seasons, the chairlift takes mountain bikers to the top of the mountain, then they ride down. We saw a few of them and it looks so scary, but we did enjoy watching them speed down the dirt paths on the mountain.
Once at the top, we decided to hike around for a little while and take some pictures. The views of the surrounding wilderness were amazing! Thomas found some rocks and sticks and we all enjoyed admiring the fall colors. We picked the perfect day to take a chairlift ride!
