Two remarkable people have called out “This Is The Place” from this mountain.
Brigham Young.
And Pippi.
In honor of the 24th of July in Utah, NayNay took us on a hike to the “This Is The Place” monument.
It wasn’t a very long hike, but it was legitimately steep, so I loved it.
When we made it, we all decided that we should have gone in the wee hours, to avoid the sun and heat.
But the hike was awesome.
And my kids dominated — as my rad kids usually do.
And Dash went shirtless — as my rad kid usually does.
And I can’t help but wonder if Brigham Young had any idea of what was to come of the Salt Lake Valley.
Because, after months of crossing the treacherous plains, he stopped at the absolute perfect spot.
Happy Pioneer Day.
