Handcart Trek

Jasper and Justin had the opportunity to go on a handcart trek at Martin's Cove in Wyoming for a youth conference. They were gone for five days. They went with a good group of youth and leaders. It was a great experience for both of them.


All the youth and some leaders


Crossing the Sweetwater River




Statues at the Sweetwater River crossing honoring the young men who carried the sick, starving, and freezing pioneers across the icy river.

Justin and his friend Sione found a snake on the trek.


All the youth and leaders.
