I feel accomplished after hiking to the top of Timp. Kinda cool that my softball friend from Snow (Patty) and my softball friend from BYU (Julie Hess) are now friends in the same ward and we were able to meet and hike Timp together. We each brought a daughter. (Rylie, Kaitlyn, Jennica). It was a beautiful hike that pushed my limits and tiredness. Flowers were spectacular and the goats were fun to watch. The guy (Jacob) that gave up his cold Coke to Julie at the summit was so nice as he heard us talking about wishing we had a cold drink at the top.
We met up Monday evening in lehi for some
Costa Vida. Then we headed to site 6 in timpooneke campground where we
saw a big moose off the side of the road near Altamont. Somehow Patty
convinced Julie and I that we didn’t need a tent and we just slept on a
tarp under the stars. R and K slept in the bed of the truck. We woke up
just before 5am, packed up our stuff and hit the trail by 6:00am.
Like
I said, hard hike, but beautiful. Rylie hauled bootie up and was
rewarded with her first goat sighting. I especially enjoyed hiking with
Julie and reconnecting as it had been awhile. Saddle was great and the
hike from there to the summit was crazy hard for me. 1 mile felt like at
least 5. But we all made it and enjoyed the views from the top before
heading back to the saddle to watch some more goats.
The
hike back to the trailhead is never ending. Somehow after what felt
like for-ev-er, we made it back to the cars at 4pm. Then it was a juicy
JCWs hamburger to wrap up our 24 hour adventure.
