Mt. Timpanogos Hike & Cave

For my (upcoming) birthday I wanted to hike Mt. Timpanogos and go through the caves.  I've been talking about it for a loooong time, especially since I knew we would need to buy tickets a month before and schedule a babysitter so I could leave my younger girls at home.  We went this past weekend and had a fabulous time! We (Kelsey, Kurt, Austin & Nyah) went with my sister Jesse and her husband Justin. 

I did this with my dad and sisters when I was around 10 years old, but I didn't remember much about how far and steep the hike up is.  It was hard work for all of us!! 

 The view was breathtaking - absolutely stunning!
 We took lots of water and snacks and breathing breaks on our way up.

 Inside the cave - I turned the camera over to Kurt because I couldn't figure out the settings for cave pictures!

This formation is called The Heart of Timpanogos





 Once we came out of the cave, I hiked back up a couple switchbacks to the "last chance" bathroom for Austin and Nyah.

It was a wonderful, beautiful day!
