Timpanooeke Hike

Joe and I made a one hour drive to the Timpanooeke trail head. We got on the trail at 9:00 a.m. and came off of the trail at 6:30 p.m. That's 9 1/2 hours. We spent an hour at the top. We could have gone further up if we had left earlier this morning. We'll do this again sometime. Further up there's a glacier that some people were sliding down.
I've posted some pictures of the trail.






This is as far as we went. At least we felt rewarded for our hard work.






A shot of me on the way up:









Because of the way the trail switch backs up the mountain, we crossed different sections of this stream about 6 times. It flowed over the trail.


Near the top there was a landscape of greenery and wild flowers.

What a great hike! It's so scenic up there. I think that's hillarious that you ran into Larry Nuttal! We ran into him the last time we hiked up there with dad too- so funny! He probably lives up there, for all we know. :)

How fun to think you guys come down here to hike the Mt. in my front yard! Isn't it beautiful though! You certainly take awesome pictures Lesa! Do you remember when you guys were just little, and Grandma, Karen & I and your mom and all of you hiked up that same trail? It was so fun.
