American Fork Twin Peaks

Riding the Snowbird tram. I thought it would be an easy ridge hike,
but with the added distance with Red Baldy and the White Pine trail,
It seemed even harder.

From near the top of Hidden Peak
looking south toward the knife edge ridge to American Fork East Twin.
Some people walk to the end of the trail and then scramble up the talus,
We have a name for those people: "Tired"

I love the distinct colors and textures of the rocks on this hike.

Mark Youngsville 2008-03-02 Great Site! I grew up in Provo, Utah and hiked around Moab, St. George and the Uintas. Now I'm on the East Coast and I miss it. Brings back excellent memories. Thanks .... Tom 2008-02-23 National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had funded a project with the US auto makers for the past five years. The NTSB covertly funded a project whereby the auto makers were installing black boxes in four wheel drive pickup trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash. They were surprised to find in 49 of the 50 states the last words of drivers in 61.2% of fatal crashes were, "Oh, Shit!" Only the state of Texas was different, where 89.3% of the final words were, "Hey Y'all, hold my beer and watch this!" Smuckimiexcus Piran 2008-01-15 Hello!
