We were Hiking by around 4:00 a.m. and we got to see the sun come up while hiking.
Further up this is one of the amazing views we were blessed to see.
Another great view. This was a long hike! About 8 miles in and 8 miles out!
Further along the trail there was a bit of a meadow. So with all those flowers it was a better part of the hike! I also knew my mom would LOVE them!
That is where we were hiking, the tip of that mountain. Whew!
A closer picture of the mountain.
The clouds were really good too.
Later on the way up we saw a few mountain goats! We thought that there was two, but there were more on the other side of this part. The two we saw at first also were protecting a baby goat which was very cute!
The part right before the mile to the summit {the saddle} had this amazing view of Utah Lake and Utah County to offer.
We reached the top! Lunch tasted good after that climb up!
The shack was built so that all who reach the top of Mt. Timp. could write their name and the date they did the climb. It was very cool! You can see a third of it in this picture.
A self-portrait of me at the top in the shack.
The view from the summit! The way down was much easier and faster for me. I'm glad I did this hike!
**Have you ever had to get up at 3:30 in the morning?
Have you ever seen a baby mountain goat?

Comment Window Tidbit: Seriously, they met at the church at 3:30am!! Can you imagine choosing to do such a thing?

3:30? I thought that was crazy until I read that they saw the sun come up! That is pretty cool though!
Loving the photos and documentation from Landon! I love that he knew you would enjoy certain pictures.
What a great kid!
Wow! 3:30? I can't believe people showed up!
I think the pictures were worth it...is there a photography gene?
Very cool!! The pictures are beautiful and I loved that you took pictures of the flowers because you knew your mom would love them! :)
I can't imagine getting up so early to hike, but you make it look fun!!
Wow! Way to go, Landon. 16 mile hike? Whew!
Fabulous photos. :) That floral shot looks like a hillside rainbow. I'm kind of feeling jealous about your hike. ;)
Great pictures Landon, you definitely have been taught well by your mom. It looks like a great hike and a fun activity. I would love to do that hike one of these days!!
Well, that's a great way to initiate someone into Young Men's by making them get up at 3:30 for their very first activity! Impressive! I love how Landon is following your example of documenting life, complete with self-portrait! Beautiful pictures he took!
I love that Landon did this post--the pictures are beautiful and I love that he took one of the flowers knowing you would love them. I'm impressed that he did that hike . . . I've never done it but I've heard it's hard!
Landon, thank you for the great post! I loved all the pictures from your hike. I especailly loved the beautiful meadow photo you took for your mom. That was very thoughtful and sweet of you! My family and I hiked up to the caves on Mt. Timpanogas over 4th of July weekend. I carried my 2 yr old nearly the entire way up and part of the way down. Man that was a work-out. Maybe next year we'll climb to the summit like you!
I have had to get up at 3:30, but only to catch a plane. I haven't hiked Timp OR seen a baby mountain goat! (or any mountain goat)
I love that you took all these photos, Landon, and especially that you thought to take a self-portrait! Great documentation!
I want to do this hike! I have been up at 3:30am for a race and I have seen a mountain goat on my golf course, but not a baby. Very cool. I love that you took a self portrait and that you knew your mom would love the field of flowers- I KNOW she would have taken a photo like that one! I'm glad you got to do this hike too!
oh, landon. i've hiked timp a bunch of times...in my mind...does that count? is that the same?
are there seriously mountain goats up there?! seriously?!?! what the! for some reason i think animals like that only live in the rockies, or the andes, you know. crazy.
