Mt. Timpanogos

Dan and I decided we wanted to hike Mt. Timpanogos together back in March. So, using that and getting rid of my baby weight as an incentive I started to run again to be ready. I am very happy to say I have finally lost all my baby weight. However, I have never done anything like hike a gigantic mountain before so I had no idea what I'd gotten myself into. Dan on the other hand has hiked Timp several times!

We started out at 630am...

Here we are taking a quick break: Dan and I, Dona and Brad, Aimee, and Vernon

Dona took the lead and set the pace for us on the way up. We were amazed at her speed, she whipped us into shape!

Talk about rough terrain...

I am a bit afraid of heights...can you believe this is our trail!

On the way back down we took our time and took lots of pictures of this AWEsome landscape!

Emerald Lake (GORGEOUS!)

We came within several feet of mountain goats.

Aimee stuck with me the whole time! Love ya sister!

On the way down Dan decided he wanted to uh, cool off! He didn't mean to SLIP! He is always smiling when he is outside, in the mountains, even if he has to hike the rest of the way SOAKED!

We made it! It was quite the adventure. I loved doing it with Dan and found I had a lot more confidence at the scary parts with him by my side. I can't even begin to describe how gorgeous it was at 11,800ft...the kind of beauty you EARN to see (Dan's favorite). We had a great time. Thanks Aimee, Dona, Brad, and Vernon for coming! I will be conquering this mountain again!
