What had once been almost an annual tradition for me had been neglected for the last few years: a hike up one of my nearby neighboring mountains, Mount Timpanogos. This year, I sought to renew that tradition in a 'Summit to Summit' fashion by making a loop with the primary trails that lead up...
This day hike would turn out to be quite the adventure. Definitely among the best hikes I've ever done.
Having been in recovery mode after surgery on my feet in December of 2017 I got a really late start getting back on the trail in 2018. I decided I would set a modest bucket list of only one...
We headed up to Timpanogos a week ago - 18 July 2015. Camped at the rim of the basin, caught a wild storm and subsequently a wild sunset. There is a lot of indian paintbrush up there right now (or at least a week ago).
The whole trip report is here.
Right on the heels of the recent trip and beautiful report by @Ugly, here's a report of a trip @WillisBodillus and I took up to Timp the very week after. While my pics aren't nearly as spectacular, I hope those of you viewing and reading still find them enjoyable...
Since we both go by Will...
I know that all of my reports have been local, as I have been stuck close to home with work and chasing kids around on soccer fields. I love the stuff coming from elsewhere, and it should not be too many years before I am back in some of those places again. For now, I am sticking to my backyard...

It was slow going, we didn’t summit, but it was an awesome day!

We did however make it to a...
Trying out my first TR with the BBCode converter and a new blog I just started (wasatch-will.blogspot.com)...
Being my first post of this new blog in which I intend to document what I hope to be many hiking and backpacking adventures throughout Utah's famed Wasatch Mountains, other parts of...
On the 26th, a friend and I hiked Timp, starting at the Timpanooke Trailhead and finished at Aspen Grove. I had never done the "cross-over" as I'll call it, and knew that it would make for a long day. But in the end, it was a great experience and I can't say that I'll ever want to do that again...
Alene, April, and Bill had planned a backpacking trip up to the top of Mt Timpanogos over a weekend we did not have Caiden, however I had a football game to coach that Saturday and opted to back out of going with them. I was a little jealous because I had not had a chance to try out our new...
