Hike up Timpanogos

Mike took the whole week of Lake Powell off so we decided to do something neither of us had done, but wanted to. Hike Mount Timpanogos. There are two main routes people can take. The Timpooneke route starts in American Fork canyon at a campground. It's ~7.5 miles each way.  The Aspen Grove way is on the east side of the mountain and is ~8.3 miles each way. We thought it might be the more scenic route, and thought we were in good shape, so we chose the Aspen Grove. It definitely was beautiful, but it was hard. The last two miles on the way up and down were pretty rough. BUT, we finished it. I think we'll do the Timpooneke side next time. Here are some of the highlights.
