Timpooneke Trail Hike






In September the troop went to American Fork Canyon where we camped at the Timpooneke Campground. Our plans were to rise early on Saturday and hike the Timpooneke trail to the peak of Mt Timpanogas. Unfortunately rain (and some slow moving Scouts...) gave us a late start. We made it about 3/4 of the way to the top before we had to turn back.
This is easily one of my favorite hikes of all time. The scenery is incredible along the entire hike with wild flowers, waterfalls, snow fields, steep mountain valleys, etc.
This time of year the fall colors were spectacular!
The troop is determined to make it to the top so this may be on our list again for next year.
