Timpanogos Mountain, UT view map

Wanda and I went hiking this morning, starting at 2 A.M.! What were we thinking! It was a wonderful hike about 15 miles worth of switchbacks, rocks, wildflowers, waterfalls, lots of little critters, we even came across some mountain goats at about 4am.

When we got to this spot at just over 11,000ft we came to these guys sleeping and all bundled up. It was in the 40's with the wind chill. And I thought I was nuts! Now I am home and it is time to go to bed. Getting up at 12:50am to go hiking wore me out.

Heres a couple pictures of Wanda enjoying this hike.

It's getting close to the time to do this hike. We should plan for it in August or September.

Bravo for your early efforts to climb ... and NO I wouldn't want to sleep up there either.

Boy you got this up quick. I'm glad I was still at home in bed while you and Wanda killed yourselves. I don't think she will be moving for the rest of the day.
