On Wednesday, June 16th, we went on a hike up R Mountain in rexburg (aka. Menan Butte). We started at the North-West parking lot and went around the Butte clockwise. I'm not sure, but I think it's about 5 miles. As you can see, we had six of us, (left to right) Jen (+baby), Candy, Shelly, Karen, Bobbi, and Mamie. It looked like it was going to pour, but we had faith and went forth. It nearly blew us off the south side, but that was ok, because we were sweating by then, and if it hadn't blown and cooled us down, we would all have smelled pretty ripe, and no one would have wanted to get within 100 feet of us, let alone climb into a car and drive home. There's a parking lot and access on the south-east side, and it's more difficult footing, but much shorter (the incline). I recommend that side if you have sure feet, it's short and sweet. The best part about this hike (besides the company) was the view! It was amazing! Rexburg and the surrounding areas in all their glory! I know you can see the "R" somewhere from above while hiking, but we didn't find it. There's also a path through the middle of the Butte, and Shelly took that. She wooped us for sure, that way was much shorter (for those of you looking for a little shorter hike).
