We Did It!

Tyler has been talking non-stop about hiking Timpanogos Mtn this summer (well he actually wanted to backpack up and stay the night). So Saturday, we arrived at the American Fork Canyon side at 7:00 in the MORNING. When we arrived the park rangers said the parking lot had been full since 3:30 in the morning from hikers wanting to hike up in time for the sunrise. So we had to park a ways and hike to the trail to hike!

We hiked all day up to the very top. We stopped at Emerald Lake and "the saddle" of the top. Then at 2:00 in the afternoon we arrived at the summit where you can see the whole valley. On one side is Utah Lake and Utah Valley, on the other side you could see Deer Creek and Heber. It was amazing, incredible and beautiful and I will not be doing it again for a LOOOOOOOONG time. It was amazing that we conquered the mtn and I did not think I had it in me. We did not stay the night, but we did not get to our car until 7:00 at NIGHT! Twelve hours of hiking is enough to hold me over for a bit. It was worth it but I have to wear flip-flops to work this week because of the blisters on my toes, and Ty has been icing his knee for the past day and a half but we lived to tell about it.
