Hiking Mt Timpanogos <pics>

We hiked Mt Timpanogos back in July when Kate (Kater) was here. So I'm a little late in posting them. Warning....there are a TON of photos...so if you want to see them all just wait a bit for me to get them all posted and for them to all load. I don't think I've ever posted a thread with this many photos so I apologize for the amount. I just like to take a lot along the way so you can kind of experience it through the pictures, and I'm bad at narrowing photos down....anyway, here they are:

Kate didn't have a dog with her so we borrowed my manager's husky, Shilo.

Another of my friends came and brought her dog, Travi, too.

It's a doggy slide! That was really funny to watch, they actually were going up it, sliding down, then going back up again, just like a slide.

Well, she was taking a nap...until these guys arrived...here they are coming up the trail we came up
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...08/timp111.jpg

Then they arrived from the other side so basically we were surrounded by mountain goats

THE END!

Great pics!!!! Beautiful!! And perfect timing to post them. I'm going to show them to my bf. I told him that Utah was much prettier than what you can see from the I-15.... lol

Gorgeous!! I have to say the close ups of the goats are my favorites :D I laughed at a few. You make me want to visit Utah so much with all the gorgeous photos you post!

You're photos are always breath taking!!
It must be great living in something so beautiful as Utah. I wish we had scenery like that here! ha

and the dogs must always enjoy themselves:D they are beautiful as always! as are your boss's dog and your friends dog

Wow! I would go hiking a lot more if I got to see what you saw! Stunning photos, as usual! Those hiking bags are great, what do your kids carry in there?

Those were all really great shots. Your dogs are pretty, I really like the red one.

WOW! :D
:D
:D

what lovely pics, amy your so lucky to live near such lovely scenery to walk in.

Those are some awesome scenic pictures, Amy! The dogs make them incredible - at least to me. What a great place to hike and how great that you take full advantage of doing all the hiking you do - with the dogs. What fun!

That's it- I can't take it anymore! I'm moving to Utah!:D:p You have sooo many gorgeous trails to hike on, and snow, I love snow!
You take excellent pictures, Amy! The dogs look great!

That looks like an absolutely beautiful place to hike!

Thanks for sharing Amy. Hubby and I are headed out to the Denver area in a month to visit the Rockies. I hope to see some mountain goats. I love your mountain goat pics. :)

Wow, another set of amazing pictures that make me SO jealous! :p I have a very serious question to ask you, do you ever get tired of the hikes, views, etc? I honestly can say if I lived there I would NEVER get tired of it. I :love: the pups as always. Shilo is gorgeous and it's great you got to borrow her for the afternoon. Nebo and Keva are so happy in all the picture and I love the doggy slide. :D

Fabulous pictures, Amy. I was oohing and aahing all the way through. The doggie slide made me smile and laugh as I imagined the dogs having as much fun as kids would sliding on the ice. :D And some of those pictures of the mountain goats were just fantastic. It looks like they are looking right into your camera, amazing. Although it is hard for me to imagine hiking in short sleeves and shorts through the snow and ice. Brrr.

Gorgeous scenery, gorgeous dogs!! I love the one where they are looking at something to their left....great profiles!! I bet they loved those mountain goats!!

I've been a hiker for over 30 years and would LOVE to do that hike!! And the fur critters obviously loved it too! Wonderful pics.

Such gorgeous photos, Amy! :D and gorgeous pups of course, too. :love: it looks like you all had a blast and I laughed out loud about you guys being surrounded by mountain goats. :p that must have been interesting, especially for the dogs! :p

Thanks everyone! :)

Mostly just water...also I had dog booties, pet first aid kit, and some dog treats.

No, I'm strange, I think I'm more amazed by the views I've seen a million times than people who see it for the first time. :confused:

Beautiful pictures Amy! It made me tired watching all that walking! You have some fantastic shots of your pooches!:)
