We are still a little sore. That was two days of intense hiking. Bruce and I started for the hidden lakes area of Timpanogos on Saturday about 2:30 in the afternoon. It was a super hot day, and I was having some trouble with the heat as we started out. We made it to the camp area about 5 hours later. It was totally worth it - It's a little hard to see in the picture, but you can see Heber Valley and Deer Creek from up her.
We saw about 90 mountain goats. They were in our camp ground on Saturday. The kids were so cute. They were really curious about us and would come right up to our chairs and just stand there gazing. We also saw a bull moose on the way up and on the way down.
The stream was pretty dried up, but Bruce was able to get enough of what trickled down to fill the drip filter at the TERT camp (TERT is Timpanogos Emergency Response Team)
The Hike DownWe had a good hike down. One of the good things about hiking later in the season is the abundance of wild berries. We ate service berries, currents, Oregon grapes and wild raspberries. This is Bruce stopping for a rest in the shade with Lance, the team leader.
