Once we got back from Goblin Valley we hiked Timpanogos Mountain.
We didn't hike the trail that just lead to the caves. We hiked up the WHOLE mountain (well some of us did.)
This is the second waterfall along the trail and the water was freezing. I tried to keep my feet in for a minute but I couldn't make it.
The hike was extremely steep and a huge workout. I was in the slow group. This is a picture of McKay, Adam, and Uncle Martin as they taunted us from above. They were the fast group.
When I finally made it to the top of that lookout point we took this picture.
The next part of the hike was to reach the boulder field. Once we reached that Aaron, Adam, Mom, and I went back down. Keith, Uncle Martin, Amanda, and McKay didn't turn around and they kept hiking up the mountain until they reached the top.
Here they are at the glacier lake. They are tough.
Apparently Amanda tried to get in the water but she was only up to her knees before she had to get out because of pain. That glacier water is cold!
They also found the spring up there. McKay said it tasted exactly like Spring bottled water.
imagine that.
They were up so high they saw mountain goats too.
Do mountain goats fall off of mountains very often? Just wondering...

We have hiked Timpanogas three times. The first time we turned around because of mosquitos. The second time we made it to the ridge where you can look over into Lehi and American Fork. But then a huge storm came and sent us running down the mountain so we wouldn't get struck by lightening (we also were practically attacked by two moose- remind me to tell you about it later). The third time, we made it to the very tiptop where they have the metal lookout point. It was awesome! It was one of the hardest and most beautiful hikes we have ever done. We still talk about it like we are "bad".
