Mt. Timpanogos

I really wanted to do a good hike this summer that I've never done. So, we decided to do Timp. We were originally going to do it Aug 1st. Then moved it back a week because there was still to much snow. Then moved back one more week just to be safe. I am SO glad we moved it back two weeks. There was a lot of snow we had to hike through and running shoes don't have the best traction. Even with the snow we had a great time. 18 miles of pure beauty!

Pictures throughout the hike oh most these pics come from my very talented brother in-law:) You can tell the ones that came from my phone

On the saddle (freezing)

Aaron's family has done this hike a few times and every time they do, they slide down a glacier. Sounds fun, yeah? Well, everyone was wearing jeans except myself so I literally flew on some parts because I was going so fast. Needless to say, I don't think I will be doing that part again. My tailbone still hates me.

After that glacier beat me up, I was a little nervous on the parts of the trail that still had snow on it. On one part I was going really slow across the snow because if you fall well then you slide off the mountain. Okay, not at that part exactly but still. Anyways, Aaron was walking behind me and asked me how I was doing. I said "I'm good. This snow just makes me really nervous. I don't know why but it scares me." Literally two seconds after I said that I lose my footing and there I go sliding down the mountain. My wonderful husband grabbed my backpack and tried catching my fall but instead I take him down with me. Honestly, we weren't in any real danger because there was no cliff at the end or anything like that but it scared the shiz out of me. It was intense. The trail looked like this with the snow.More beauty

I'm so glad we were able to hike this beast. I love trying something new:)
