We hiked Mt. Timpanogos this Saturday. It's almost the tallest mountain in the area... It was also a little over 13 miles. We're not doing that again. There were definitely some tears involved. But for the most part it was a great hike. The scenery was amazing! Tons of waterfalls.
Dropped her cheese stick. Bummer.

Taking a rest and singing the Three Little Ducks song. It's her favorite and it seems to be constantly stuck in my head.
We saw at least fourteen mountain goats up there!
Scoping out even more mountain goats. This was the scariest part of the hike. The trail wasn't really there so we just slipped and slid over this massive snow field. Some parts of it were sort of sketchy. Good thing Rory has excellent balance.
Rory was so happy to have this handy walking stick his mom gave him. He called it his third leg.

And we made it to the summit in one piece! Although we were a bit wind whipped.
Hanging out in the shelter up top trying to get out of the wind.
My thoughts exactly.
We had some fun on the way down sliding down the snow field. Rory wants me to say we glissaded down because it sounds cooler. I, however, glissaded on my bum (or buttocks) so I don't know if I really deserve the term.
More goats. I love the baby! Right after this (after I'd stowed away my camera) we came across another mama goat and her twin fuzzies! They were so squeezable. After my knee jerk squeeze reaction I realized they were probably parasite infested. Yick.
