Yard work is hard work and sometimes, it's great to get a helping hand. That's why a group of Valley volunteers with Let's Pull Together is ready to help.
Hikers from around Phoenix are wrapping up a two-month-long challenge: climbing a mountain in Tempe over and over again.Up and down, all day, every day. A mountain in Tempe is quite the attraction."It's under half a mile to get to the top and about 300 feet. So, you're basically climbing the Statue of Liberty," said hiker Brett Andersen.Downtown Tempe Authority challenged hikers to climb the mountain 40 times over seven weeks.
"I did it ten times, so I think I could probably build on that," she said.The goal is 40, which is equal to the same height as climbing Mount Everest."I honestly just love everything about it," Brett said.His father-in-law had just passed away and said they used to hike this mountain together."Now, whenever I'm on the mountain, it brings back memories of him," he said.The couple brings along their four-year-old son on the hikes.
