Mt. Timpanogos

This looks like a painting it's so pretty. I highly recommend going up Timpooneke rather than Aspen Grove. I thought it was prettier and not so treacherous! Most of the water falls were dry on the Aspen Grove trail which was too bad.




You can kind of tell how hard the wind is blowing by my hair! This picture was taken at the VERY top of Timp.
Fall is a fun time to hike it with all the new colors coming in!

This was our last bit to the very top. We had some food on the East side of the mountain then got up and faced the wind to finish the hike. We were not very prepared for what was to come. It was FREEZING COLD, and the wind was AWFUL! Thank goodness Jeremy had an extra shirt or I would have gotten hypothermia! If you do this hike take gloves, a hat, and a sweatshirt! The good thing is the wind pushes you toward the side of the mountain while you're walking so it helps to keep you from falling!

Jared got a good picture of Timpanogas temple from Timpanogas.
Hanging on for dear life hoping the wind doesn't blow us away. It really is that WINDY

It all began very early, in this picture the sun still hasn't come up.

Jeremy, the GEOLOGY major (thanks Ryan, I even wore Jeremy's shirt that said BYU Geology) , taught us about the limestone that was all around and the fossil fragments found in it. He could tell about how much water use to be on top of it when it was formed! He really knows his stuff! Sadly Stefanie had to stay home with cute little Ellia.

Here's our hiking group, the guy on my left is Jeremy's new brother-in-law. Have you seen Man vs. Wild on tv? Well I think this guy (Greg) looks like Bear Grylls. He's also a Geology major.
