Calling All 4th Year Hikers!
All "4th Year" Young Men (born in 2010) are invited to a 4-day, 3-night hike covering 20-25 miles in the central Cascade Mountains Alpine Lakes Wilderness area. (The exact hike is TBD)​
​
This is a fantastic opportunity for the young men to connect with nature, connect with other young men across the stake, and grow closer to the Savior.
​
Registration is due March 31.


Practice Hikes
In preparation for the 4-day hike in July, young men who wish to participate must attend at least one overnight practice hike with a full weighted backpack. There will be no exceptions given for this requirement.
​
A practice hike is necessary to ensure:
-
The young men assess their ability to do the main hike
-
The young men have the right equipment and know how to pack and use it.
-
The young men know what preference they have for food (Mountain House meals) and how much they may need.
-
The adult leaders to get to know the young men's personalities and any special needs they may have.
Cost & Payment
Cost should not be a barrier for participation
The cost of the hikes is $175 and should be paid by May 31st, 2025. Make a check out to your local ward with "AP 4th Year Hike" written in the Other category.
​
Expenses must be paid using paper offering slip -- sorry no online payment available.
