Yes, we hiked it again a while ago. You can see the pics from the first hike here http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=132802&highlight=timpanogos This is the other trail, it goes to Emerald Lake, then meets up with the trail to the saddle as well. We just went to the lake. A couple of friends came with me and took their dogs. Lady is the german shorthair pointer and Travi is the black and white mix (your guess).
Here's the pics (sorry there's a ton!)
Greeting another husky on the trail (they had a white one too)

I love this one. That's the trail actually, well underneath the rocks...I guess there was a rockslide.

There were many mountain goats up on the rocks, I wasn't close enough to get any great photos, but it was neat to watch them

Emerald Lake (if you look down on it from the top, it is an emerald color)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/U2Q/Timpanogos%20Hike%20Emerald%20Lake%202007/timp229.jpg
This is a glacial fed lake...you can't get much colder than that...and Travi wanted to swim in it. Somehow I picture Kiara doing the same thing. ;)

We wandered about half-way up the glacier. Just FYI Glaciers are slippery and it hurts when you fall and hit into a rock. ;)

Thanks for sharing this and I look forward to your pictures of Keeva!

Amy, thank you so much for "taking" me on the hike with you! ;)
What's the story about the little shelter you stayed in for a night last summer? Was it planned that you were going to stay in it or did you not have a choice?!?! Please tell!!
The pic of Bebo sleeping is priceless!
I LOVE this picture... the way his foot is out in front on the rock.

Angie, see this thread http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=110330&highlight=timpanogos We planned to spend the night up there, we took a tent. Hauling all that stuff up there is way too much effort :o but it was amazing to watch the sunrise from up there. :)

Wow! That looks like alot of fun, as I love hiking and especially watching wildlife. I really doubt though that Roscoe, our Miniature American Eskimo, would do that, as he gets very tired after a long walk and will force us to carry him :rolleyes: Anyways, Nebo, Lady, and Travi are all gorgeous!

Oh wow, you get to visit the most beautiful places! I bet the scenery is almost breathtaking in real life.
It looks like everyone had a good time! Nebo, Lady, & Travi are all such good looking dogs. :) I agree with pitc9, I love that picture of Travi on the rocks.
Thanks for sharing your adventure.

WOW! ... WOW! ... WOW!!
Once again, Miz Amy and the lil Red Husky have wandered off into God's Country
and returned with a camera full of Beautiful Vistas!
Absolutely **BEAUTIFUL** photos of REALLY Beautiful Scenery!
And about that Cute lil Girl that appears with Nebo every so often ...
QUIT Pickin on her!
WE all think she's a REALLY CUTE-lookin lil Lady ...
(otta *SMILE* a lil more, but CUTE none the less!) ... :cool:
So give her a break inna captions! ;)
Now that all the photos have (FINALLY) fully loaded, and I've gone back and
manually *encouraged* the lil red X's to fill in ...
the whole spread is even MORE Beautiful than at first glance.
NICE SHOOTING, Miz Amy!!

All I can do is ditto what Anna says.
The three dogs are so pretty. What awesome pictures. Since I am a single lady now I swear that when I get some vacation time built up and a little money saved I am going to take off and head your way. I am just itching to come visit you and go hiking with you and see that gogeous part of the country. To get to hang out with you, the pups and see that wonderful scenery would be one special treat for me.
Hugs for you and the pups!

These are as usual, brethtaking. I love the landscapes around you. We have to drive for several hours to get to pine forests, which are pretty much the only nice place for hicking. I was reminded in these pics of
being 9 and hicking South Mt, AZ. Not exactly the same landscape, but mountains still the same.

I guess I'll have to double ditto what Anna said. You sure do have a way with a camera. Hiking used to be one of my favourite sports but never anywhere as beautiful as you go. Keep posting, I love your pictures and I can dream that I'm the one out there.

I would love to do some photography out there, looks so peaceful!
Thanks for sharing, I'll be sure to watch for your postings more often! :)

Breathtaking photos, Amy, simply breathtaking!!!! You do indeed live in an area of awesome beauty. Add in handsome Bebo and (I agree with Phred) one cute girl at the end of that leash, a couple other pretty pups....picture perfect! thanks for taking the time to share all your photos with us - you could never post "too many"!

WOW, Amy! This shot is gorgeous!! You take such wonderful pictures. As always I am totally jealous. I keep telling my parents that if I could take one trip in the US, it would be to Utah to your area ... of course I have your pictures to thank for that ;) But I really do love hiking, there just isn't much of nothing to hike around here.

Cool to see you are hanging out with Lady and Melissa! :) Travi is absolutely ADORABLE. And yep, Kiki would do the same thing and probably shiver the whole time. :p

Amazingly great pics! I'm jealous of the beautiful area where you live. I love waterfalls and have never been able to get that close to one. And this is my favorite pic. It would be used for Utah tourism. Plus, Nebo makes it looks even better. And you may hate getting your pic taken with them but you'll never regret it. I wish I had more of Duke and I together.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you enjoyed the pics! :) I'd love to drag all of you up to the top of Timpanogos...it's beautiful but I think most of you would be hating me by the end of it lol. I hope some of you make it out here some day, though I must warn you I'm a terrible tour guide. ;)

... though I must warn you I'm a terrible tour guide. ;)
:eek:
WHY do you beat yourself up like this?
You're *NOT* "a terrible tour guide" at all ...
* Ya never "lost" a tour member (that we know of)
* Ya always manage to get everyone back home
* The Dawgs even go along with ya
* Maybe nobody knows for sure - but ya *SEEM* to follow the right trails
So QUIT IT with the bad-mouthing of yourself.

Lol thanks Phred but seriously you can ask a few people and I think they'll tell you what I just said. I may live here, but I don't know how to get very many places (driving). I do know how to get to all of my favorite trails and I don't have a problem following those but driving to places I rarely go, I'm pretty clueless. :o I haven't ever lost a "tour member" though!

Hey Amy ~
Next rainy / non-hikin day ...
Sit down and print out a couple dozen MapQuest Routes for those "rarely go" places ...
Stuff 'em in the glove box and you're ready for the next "tour". ;)
You (almost) CAN'T get "lost" with a MappyQuest in your pokit!

Great pictures, Amy! Both trails are spectacular, but I think I like this one the best because of the glacier and the lake. It looks like everyone had a good time on the hike; as always. :)
