Mount Nebo

July 17, 2016 - Northern Utah

8.7 mi  /  3,006 ft

Dave was spending the weekend in the Nebo Loop Road area doing some climbing/camping/hiking, and asked if I'd like to summit Mount Nebo with them. It had been a couple years since I'd done Nebo, and I was looking to stay in hiking shape for our upcoming High Uintas backpack, so I decided to tag along. It was another July scorcher of a day in the valley, so it was actually nice to get up near 12,000 feet where it was a bit cooler. We saw some fantastic wildflowers and a handful of mountain goats - something I'd never seen on Nebo before. I also finally got to meet Shelby...who apparently is half mountain goat herself. :)
