All-in-all I say that Mount Timpanogos was a great replacement for my original goal of hiking Table Rock. It was BEAUTIFUL. Prepare yourself for picture overload:
 |
| About an hour into the trail. The hike goes up that steep wall face and hits a meadow right under the peak of that mountain. |
 |
| Sunrise! |
 |
| Great view from about 1/3rd into the hike. The trailhead is at the very bottom of the valley. |
 |
| At the meadow approaching the base of Timp. |
 |
| There she is! If you look very closely you can see the tiny shelter we will end up at. |
 |
| This trail is so much scarier in real life. I don't do heights well. |
 |
| At the shelter! We made it!! |
 |
| Check out the view straight down! Eesh! |
 |
| Highest I've ever climbed! |
 |
| View for miles... |
 |
| See the scary trail? |
 |
| Another view of Emerald Lake |
 |
| Happy with the hubby! |
 |
| There is a yellow tent down there. Can you find it? |
 |
| Utah Lake to the left |
 |
| Coming back down the hike... |
 |
| Timp on the Right. |
 |
| Back down at Emerald Lake |
 |
| Happy at the waterfall! |
That looks like an awesome hike! Gorgeous pictures. I'd be a bit scared at part of that trail. I am not fond of cliffs!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That is so amazing!
ReplyDeleteNow I want to go back and hike it!! Seems like a great hike.
ReplyDeleteBecky, I'm a new follower enjoying your success stories and am very impressed with the goals you have achieved. I am a runner as well but have only been at it for about 8 months now. I blog about many other things as well.
ReplyDeleteTimp hike is my all time favorite. I have tried to do it annually in the past but have missed a few years. I understand your photos perfectly of the scariness of the heights. I find complete peace in just stopping at the saddle at the top and then coming back down.
