Bryce’s birthday fell on Memorial Day this year and per his request we went to hike Ensign Peak before joining family for some fishing and BBQ action. Ensign Peak, so named by Brigham Young, rises up behind the state capitol building. According to local history, when Brigham saw the peak, it brought to mind a vision Brigham had of Joseph Smith telling him where to fly the banner of freedom and Brigham said, “This is the place.”

Pretty amazing views!

Fishing later that day. Didn’t catch anything.
