Hiking Timp with Brooke

Brooke was invited by an old friend (as old a friend as an 11 year old can be) to hike Mount Timpanogos last Saturday. While we didn’t make it to the saddle or peak, we did make it all the way to the upper meadow just below the saddle. What a great little hiker! Here are some photos and video clips.

A little stinging nettle. If you’re in the hills and feel like you have to go potty, these leaves are a great choice to help you eliminate that desire. stinging nettle (full size)

Here’s the slope up to Pika Cirque that Ana and I took in 2005. It was still covered in snow at the end of September that year.
