Mt. Timpanogos hike


We hiked Mt. Timpanogos and did a tour of the caves.  It was a great day to hike, the weather was perfect....it sprinkled a little bit but that was nice because it kept it cool.  The hike was pretty steep and long, but Cameron was a trooper.  He did a great job hiking and didn't complain once about being tired or it being too hard.  Mackenzie got a free ride on daddy's shoulders or I held her most of the way.  She wanted to walk and did good for short amounts of time.  If we had all day we could have let her walk at her own pace.  There were railing on some parts of the hike, but not all of it.  There were some serious drop offs and dangerous parts that were a little scary to have a little kid running around.





The view was awesome!



The cave was amazing....the tour guide said its one of only five caves in the world that has that many stalagtites.



The cave was pretty cold and dark.  Cameron thought it was cool to wear his head lamp and  we were glad we brought sweatshirts!  There were a lot of tight spaces and parts we had to duck under, some slippery parts and Mackenzie had one fall.  Other than that we made it safe and sound.  I can't wait to do it again, the kids thought it was fun!

  1. What a fun thing to do. Glad u got all these wonderful pictures of the hike up and fun family pictures also.I knew Cameron could do it, but I did worry a little about Mackenzie. Glad she is learning to be a real trooper just like her big brother, Cameron.
