Hiking Mount Timpanogos <photos>

"I smell jerky"

"Me too"

Of course I shared!

See the slight U-shape in the middle...that's the saddle, where we were headed

The snow in the middle is the glacier, below that is Emerald Lake where we camped out last year. I may end up hiking back to the lake again this year too.

Wildflowers along the trail to the saddle

Getting closer


The U-shape at the top is the saddle, almost there!

Now that's a view! Actually I wish we had picked a different day, I think there had been a fire recently as it was hazy/smoky looking that day and the day before. Usually you can see the valley better.

The trail continues from here to the summit (also known as the "shack" and triangulation station...it's a small metal building). I went on that trail the first time, we didn't go again because it's a very narrow trail and I didn't think it would be good to take dogs on it. You can see the building in this photo, its very tiny, its on the right side of the peak on the left.

Nebo and I at the top (bad photo!)


King of the mountain

Looking below, the mountain on the right is the "G" mountain. The valley to the left of it is one I often hike in, there's a waterfall I've taken a few visiting PTers to.

Nebo the butterfly killer. I didn't see him do that and I didn't know I captured a photo until I looked at them tonight!

Cisco being adorable



My friend made me pose by this tree. For the record, no I did not spray paint that, I don't know who did...but I do love U2.


Squirrel!


That's all, I hope you enjoyed joining us on our hike.

*Attached is a photo of Timp from the valley, with an arrow where I *think* the saddle is...I may be wrong

Beautiful pictures Amy! I'm tired just thinking of all that hiking! Looks like you all had a great time.

WOW! WOW! and WOW! again! That's one heck of a hike Amy...you (and Nebo) must be in great shape! I can't imagine doing that, but it sure looks like fun.
I'm glad you shared it with us, that way I can go hiking without ever leaving my chair

The pictures are absolutely stunning to say the least!

(((HUGS))) to two of my favorite huskies!

Gorgeous photos! You had beautiful weather for a day of hiking. Nebo & Cisco look very content, maybe Nebo appreciated a little break from MissKevious? what is the body of water you look down on from the top -- it looks like an awfully big lake- (don't have a map handy, is that the Great Salt Lake?)

Those are AWESOME photos. I'm very impressed that you can hike that. I do a 6 1/2 mile hike with Fenway and I'm ready to take a nap.

I love the west. It's so beautiful.

I think we Pet Talkers get the best of both worlds. We get to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the company of two handsome boys, and still stay warm and comfy in our chairs. Yeah, this is my favorite kind of hiking. I would like to go again soon (hint, hint).
