Show 24 WEBER COLLEGE Hiking Being close to the famous Wasatch range of mountains, hiking is a much favored activity. Each fall the annual pilgrimage is made to Mount Ogden, a peak east of the school whose elevation is 9,575 feet. A great flag pole was planted on this peak October 4, 1922, by the school. Three hundred seventy-five people took part in the dedicatorial services. During January or February of each year a winter hike to this great peak is also sponsored by the school. The path is rugged, the scenery varied, hence come all the thrills of an Alpine climb. To the north and east of the school are Lewis peak and Mount Ben Lomond, the latter having an elevation of 9,717 feet. Trips to these peaks are taken during the year. Because of the numerous geological wonders in the Wasatch Range hiking is both educational and recreational. Winter Sports Skating, skiing, tobogganning, and coasting have been adopted as chief of winter sports. Skating on the north end of Utah's great lake is a pleasure unique in itself. The famous Bonneville Lake Terraces furnish fine courses for skiing and tobogganning. No finer slope for coasting could be found anywhere in the west than the great Stansbury Lake Terrace. Clubs and parties foster these activities. All students who attend the school are eligible to take part. weber college Assembly 25 Student assemblies which are held each Friday furnish opportunity for student development.
