I must get in shape. I must get in shape. I must get in shape.

Then I must go vist Amy and go hiking with her.

Awww, I really would love to do that someday. Hmm, I should actually check out some of our state parks around here and take the dogs hiking. I'm so lazy!

I loved the pictures, Amy. It's so beautiful there. Thanks for taking us along through your pictures.

Awesome pictures, Amy! That definitely looks like a classic Utah trail; all up! Utah is a gorgeous area with great trails, and it looks like everyone had a great time.

OMG!!
<gasp>

I'd have been on my back, *puffing* like a steam engine, long before this point!

You two Kids have got to be in TOP physical condition to complete that kind of a hike!
As are the two PupDawgs!

I hate to lecture - but do you two file a Hike Plan with someone before you set off on
one of these day-long hikes?
I didn't notice too many 9-1-1 Call Boxes beside the trail ...
HELP might take a minute or two arriving!

Have PHUNN, but Hike SAFE!

Amy I just love your hiking pictures - all of them! Although I don't always remember to tell you so - they are an inspiration. My husband and I have done a fair bit of hiking in BC and in Austria; also a little in Taos, N. Mex., Sedona, Oregon, Washington and on some of the Hawaiian islands (volvano craters) when on vacation. We would love to someday visit Utah - it's absolutely breathtaking and I'm so glad you take the time to share your adventures with us all.

Phred, they do have TERT (Timpanogos Emergency Response Team) stationed at the base of both trails. The Timpanooke trail had a paper to sign with what time you left and the number of people. I didn't see that at the trail we're going on Sunday, but the last time I was on that trail they had a lady sitting there, likely keeping count of the people coming/going. There are no 911 call boxes along the way, cell phones work in some places (well, it worked at the very top lol). People know we're going, hopefully we won't have to worry about having to contact anyone. Both trails are popular, there will probably be way too many people up there with it being Labor Day weekend. Oh, and I'm not anywhere near top physical condition, I'm just crazy.

Thanks Betty, I hope you are able to visit Utah sometime! I'd be happy to show you some of my favorite trails if you do.

wow, those are truly gorgeous photos. I enjoyed looking at this thread. I've seen a few of your threads over the past couple months and they're always neat.
