Sidney, Claire and Claire's mom, Lori had their sites set on hiking Mt. Borah in July. However, a unexpected snowfall made that a bit tricky, so they opted for Hyndman Peak instead. Hyndman has an elevation of 12,009 feet. The girls had been practicing for the hike. They drove over there the night before and stayed near the base. The next day they began the journey.
The hike was beautiful. Sidney weirdly had cell service once they climbed a bit, so she was sending me pictures along the way.
Unfortunately, Sidney started getting altitude sickness at about 11,500 feet and some change. She made the wise decision to turn around instead of heading up the final peak. Though she was disappointed, it was the smart move.
This is not Hyndman Peak. This was a separate day and a separate hike with her friend Kennedy down by Thousand Springs.
