Hiking Mount Timpanogos <photos>

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.

Hey Amy ~

Ask Sandy Pawz to bring you and Nebo a "PLB" for Christmas ...
PLB = Personal Locator Beacon = your own lil 9-1-1 Call Box!

They're not cheap ($500 - $700) - but what's your LIFE worth?
Some Outfitters RENT the units - call around.

What a perfect day for hiking! Well, as you say, it could be clearer, but lovely nonetheless. I'll bet those doggies had a great time.
