Provo is located in Utah Valley, about 45 minutes south of Salt Lake City. Yes that is correct, it is in a valley. To the east of the city lies a mountain range that follows north and south, all the way to Salt Lake and beyond.
It seems to be a bit of a tradition in the U.S. (Whenever there are mountains anyway.) To sketch the letter of the school, or town or city. Whatever it may be, onto the side of the mountain.
In Provo there is a giant "Y" painted in white on the side of a mountain, standing for BYU.
One beautiful Sunday in March, Jayson and I decided we would hike the "Y" (thats what everyone calls it.) It was a very boring hike, there are no trees, it's a zig zag path, and it's kinda steep. I don't think we'll be doing it again anytime soon. But here are some pictures:
Jayson and I ready to start the climb
He's the "King the the World" We haven't even made it to the top yet!
I don't even know what to say about this one
A view from the top, It's a really BIG "Y"
We folks, there you have it... another post, to help your craving.
