Timp Hike

Mount Timpanogos is the second highest mountain in Utah's Wasatch Range (second to Mount Nebo). Timpanogos rises to an elevation of 11,749 feet (3,582 m) above sea level in the Uinta National Forest (now part of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest). With 5,269 feet of topographic prominence, Timpanogos is the 47th-most prominent mountain in the contiguous United States

It's 14-18 miles round trip. Depending on where you look it up and who you talk to.

Jake's Dad (for part of the hike), Krissi, Austin, Jake, Dax, and I hiked to the tippy top of  Mt. Timpanogas

Was a perfect day to go and it was all my idea too! Shocker I know! But Jake loves to hike and he gets such a thrill out of it when I go with him, so, I figured I better do another great big hike BEFORE my toenails grow back. The hike up was fairly easy. On the way down....not so easy. Krissi and I don't have very good knees anymore and so we looked like little ol' ladies comin down that mountain. I'm so glad we had Krissi and Austin to laugh through the good and the bad times of that hike. I think we might do it again sometime.

On our hike we saw plenty of animals!

A doe and 2 fawns

Moose

Huge Bumble Bee

And......Mountain Goats....Sheep...

Things that say Baa! and make Dax scream at the top of his lungs Baa!

Someday I'm going to paint this picture

Dax (fell asleep about 200 meters from the top, I'm kind of glad he did cuz if he was awake I know he would want to get out and run around and there really wasn't any room up there for that kind of activity)

We survived!
