It had been FOUR years since I bought to the summit of my favourite mountain on the planet. It was time. And yesterday was my favourite of any of the instances I’ve completed it. We carpooled as much as Timpooneke and began from there (you can begin from there or Aspen Grove and we favor the Timpooneke begin). My alarm was set for 4:18 a.m., and we began at about 5:30 a.m.
Enjoyable Truth: I bought dwelling, and Brooke had simply woken up haha. Youngsters are one of the best.
It wasn’t darkish sufficient for headlamps but it surely was good and funky for principally your entire approach up.
Just some water crossings.
At mile 2.5, we got here up on some moose. They had been on the path so we waited for in all probability quarter-hour for them to maneuver right into a meadow. Often, I’m very freaked out by moose however yesterday, it felt extra like a religious expertise being so near them.
I really like this image with them there:
The wildflowers had been higher than I’ve ever seen them. It felt like a dream.
AND THEN THE BEST PART. We got here as much as about 20 goats. The child ones had been too cute to be true.
Should you ever get an opportunity to do that path, please do. It’s pure magic.
We stored heading up for some time with probably the most excellent views.
I took a gel or sweet each half-hour, together with an electrolyte tab.
We made it to the saddle (6 miles) and had agreed beforehand that we’d resolve on the saddle whether or not to make the final mile as much as the summit. As soon as we bought there, we determined to go for it. I’m very glad we did.
The final mile up, we hike nearly all of it as a result of the rock is type of sketchy, but it surely’s so value it.
We noticed a number of extra goats up there. And after hanging out up there, we headed down. I didn’t take one picture on the descent as a result of I’m so afraid of tripping. At my ripe age of 40, I’ve lastly reached the age the place I take into consideration penalties;). I used to BOMB down this mountain with no thought on the planet however now I’m afraid of tripping and take it a lot slower.
Andrew packed the attractive cooler of goodies for us to get pleasure from on the finish. He wins. The way in which down, we had been highly regarded, and so to get to this on the finish was one of the best.
14 miles spherical journey and I got here dwelling feeling like a brand new lady, healed of something I wanted, because of Mt Timpanogos.
