in early August i had the great opportunity to hike mt. timpanogas with about 30 friends from my singles ward. we started the 15 mile round trip hike at midnight. made it to the meadow around 3:00am and relaxed for an hour. reached the summit at about 6:15am just in time to watch the sunrise at 6:25am. we were back at the cars around 10:30am.
since it was so dark on the way up it was fun to see all the bobbing lights of everyone going along the trail. we could see heber on one side, and utah county on the other
the sunrise. Brad was so kind to play the song from lion king (demon lamas wearing pink pajamas...) to really give us a good feeling of accomplish at the top in the freezing cold wind.
worst picture of me ever but proof that i made it all the way to the top
{clearly no sleep and hiking all night is not my best look}
the hike down so fun seeing all the things we missed in the dark. the meadow may have been my favorite part!
after we made it back to the bottom we stop at cafe rio for some much needed munchies then straight to bed for, what might be possibly be the greatest nap i have ever taken! even though it was hard and very long i am so glad i was finally able to do this.
check it off the bucket list
look at you just be adventure time with your ward all the time! i'm totally proud of you and am super jealous that you did this hike! i've been dying to do it the last few years. maybe next year!
