I was hiking to the LasVegas Temple with our ward Young Men/Young Women. A 16 mile walk...mostly on bike trails and in the "wash". This activity not only commemorated the pioneer's trek but was also symbolic of our life goal...to make it to the temple and endure faithful to the end.
Our "Chase" Car...offering snacks and water to the weary, coat pick-up and a ride to a few faint of heart about to die on the trail.
There were some beautiful spots. But we also trekked through some very "rough" areas of Las Vegas that made us very grateful for area of Las Vegas that we live in and our many blessings.
Some found a few other modes of transportation along the way.
Chase Car driver and support staff offering encouragement from a bridge.
Our biggest obstacle.
Almost there!
Beautiful view of the city.
One of our happiest hikers joined us for the last few miles.
Our Symbolic Mission Accomplished
We can do hard things!
Nourishment for the weary
And a lot of very tired toes.
It was a great activity and worth every step!
