Mount Timpanogos

I have wanted to hike Timp for a long time, and we finally made the attempt. I had heard that it was a tough hike, and it sure was! It was beautiful though.

I especially loved the waterfalls. They are one of my favorite parts of nature.

Jamie, TJ, Shauna, and Kait also came with is.
I am still amazed that TJ and Shauna were able to hike with Kait!

Kait is getting to be quite the hiker! She really seems to enjoy it for the most part too.

One of the amazing views

I am sad to report that we did not quite make it to the peak. We made it to the lake that is at the base of the peak, and we barely got that far. That last hill before you descend to the lake was a killer. I had to stop and take a breather every couple steps!

Gichin and TJ were exhausted!

I think this picture of Gichin and Kait is so cute

Here we all are before we started the hike back down.

On the way down we saw some mountain goats.

Going down was almost as bad as going up! We did survive, although we were all very sore and tired the rest of the day and a few days after. Even without getting to the peak it was about a 14 miles hike total, so I can't say we did too bad!

We are going to make another attempt maybe next year, hopefully in a little better shape!
