Hiking Mount Timpanogos...again <photos>

Yes, we hiked it again a while ago. You can see the pics from the first hike here http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/show...ght=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.

Lady wondering when her "mom" would ever catch up (that pic was after we'd waited a while for her to catch up too ;) )

Adorable Travi

A welcome sight...we made it to the meadow, not much further to the lake

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/v2...07/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. ;)

"Throw the stick again!"
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...07/timp231.jpg
"Please!"
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...07/timp232.jpg
Nebo splashed around in it, but he wasn't too keen on swimming in that cold of water

Pretty Lady actually sitting still long enough for me to take a pic

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

Who's that idiot standing on a glacier dressed for summer? :confused: (bad pic)

Nebo fell asleep while we were waiting for Lady's owner to find her again (she kept wandering off)

That's all of them...I have a ton of Keva to share as well but I'm not sure when I'll have time to post them.

Just beautiful pictures Amy. How nice it must be to be out there hiking in such beauty. Looking forward to pics of Keva. :D

Gosh Amy, every time I see pictures of your hiking adventures I wish I was there to go with you:) It's so beautiful there. The sky, the land, the lake...just everything is awesome! Your so lucky to live where you do.

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

(((HUGS))) to everyone...you included!

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.

YIKES! :eek: One false move and your a gonner! :p
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...07/timp216.jpg

GORGEOUS pics, as always! Looks like you'll had a really nice hike. Lady, Nebo, and Travi are all adorable. :) I enjoyed all the pictures and that trail is beautiful! I would definately hike that.

Thanks everyone!

Angie, see this thread http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/show...ght=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!

~Abigail

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!!

:)
