Mormon Mountain

This month's campout found us in the absolutely beautiful area between Munds Park and Mormon Lake. Cool temperatures were a pleasure to hike in as we ascended Mormon Mountain to camp in the open meadows and the aspen groves. It was a relatively short hike compared to what we are used to doing, but it was a very steep elevation climb.

The moonless sky was perfect for star gazing, and before bed the boys learned how to safely fell a tree. The next morning they learned how to make an improvised stretcher and reviewed the principles of stopping serious bleeding and transporting a patient (that was not related to the tree felling!)
