Hiking Mt. Timpanogos

So our goal this summer was so spend as much time as we could with each other, because in the fall and spring I only see matt like for one day out of the week. We are both very busy and Summer's are what we live for. We have always wanted to hike Timpanogos and go to the cave. It was a hard hike and lots of switchbacks, but it is really worth it if you haven't been.

Tons of water

We ate lunch at a campsite and Matt told me to do a model pose, wasn't so attractive;) ha ha.

This is how much water there was coming down the mountain in the rivers. It was kind of scary.

We noticed that there was a big pack of snow and a clearing of trees. So we think there was either a rock slide or an avalanche!? Kind of cool. This is looking up.

This is looking down the hill.

We like learning about the forest!

The light outside was so bright after we came out of the cave! This is my annoyed, my eyes hurt look.

I didn't realize how many pictures I put up of me (you will notice). Sorry, but this one shows the staligmites in the background.

They can grow from the ground and from the ceiling. No one knows how they can grow from the ground

There were a lot of deep dark holes leading to other caves very creepy.

You can see the staligmites are broken off. People have touched them in the past so it can't grow anymore

To grow from the bottom up takes millions of years

Lots of pools of water

You can see how pitch black it was

This was the light we could see when it was almost over, it was so comforting to know we were getting out and to see light!

This is how high we were up it felt like were on the very top of the mountains
