Mt. Timpanogos
Mt.Timpanogos

Mount Timpanogos: 11,750 feet.
The second highest peak in the Wasatch.

We started from Aspen Grove.
It took us 4.5 hours to reach the summit and 3 hours to get back down.
The Timpanogos shelter by Emerald Lake is about 80% of the way up.
The most difficult sections are the beginning before the waterfalls,
and the glacier after Emerald Lake.

To effectively climb the glacier, a strong stick or ice axe is very helpful.
You don't have to go up the glacier you can continue west.
From the top, we saw a small herd of mountain goats.

On the way down, we saw 18 people going up after dark
to camp in solitude at the shelter near Emerald Lake.

Timpanogos shack

This shelter was used for community hikes between 1959 -1970.
One year, over 1,000 people reached the summit in one day.
My dad was one of them.

scramble

Scrambling to the top across the loose ground.


Timpanogos glacier

The darker layer of snow is a thick blanket of dirt-filled ice,
and is old, much like a glacier.
But, it is probably only about 10 -16 feet deep.
So it is probably not causing much glacial scaring.
It could quite possibly be the last remains of an ancient glacier
maybe as far back as the Quaternary Period (1.6 million years ago)


Cottonwood Ridge

Almost to the top of the glacial remains.


Wasatch Ridge

Loved the Oquirrh storm. Thank you for taking the time to know the names of the mountains. We're not all hillbillies in Magna, but some people don't appreciate what's under their nose. I do remember seeing an old wrecked car in the trees in City Creek Canyon. That had to have killed someone (or two).

I am originally from Utah and recently moved to CA. It's so flat and boring out here I really missed the mountains from back home. I came across your site looking for pictures to help ease my home sickness. These really helped me. Thank you very much for your time and dedication to taking these beautiful pictures! Ambir

Nice photos of Mount Timpanogos. I did this hike last Friday (Sept. 17) from the Timpooneke side. Nice hike, but quite windy from saddle to the summit. Forgot to bring my camera this time, but have photos from previous hikes here.
