At 11,749 feet in the air, we stood atop Timp! It was definitely an adventure to remember. We started hiking at 6 am with our friends Jordan and Hailey and made it to the top just 4 hours later! We didn't take any breaks until we reached Lake Emerald...I could say a lot about the hike but I'll show the pics instead. But the pics definitely don't do it justice!
Early morning on the trail. Hailey and I thought this way just a leisurely day hike...little did we know...
A family of mountain goats
How cute they are on the path!
The view from Lake Emerald
The top was in site
Jordan and the glacier we would later slide down
View from the top of Timp!
Me on the phone to my dad!
The hikers!
Over looking Utah County
Russell jumped to this glacier...video to follow
Under a water fall on our hike down
Here are the videos we took....
This is me sliding down the glacier. We didn't take pics when we had to hike on the snow and we couldn't take any hiking up the rocks..too scary! We brought garbage bags to sit on and decided to wear them like diapers! Too bad I ripped mine before I slid down and Hailey and I quickly learned that wearing running shorts was the worst idea! Sparing the details, our bums our bruised and scratched from the ice!
This is Hailey coming down the glacier! Sorry for my obnoxious voice in the background!
Jordon turn! I think he had the most fun!
I think jumping onto a floating glacier must have been on Russell's bucket list or something because I couldn't talk him out of this...his punishment=I get Zupas whenever I want! Our camera cut off otherwise the video would be longer.
Well those are some highlights from the trip! I'll post some of Jordan & Hailey's pics when I get them. Oh and I think we decided the way down was quite possibly worse than the way up! Our feet and knees hurt so bad. Hailey and I ran the last half mile because we knew the faster we went the faster we'd get to the car!
