UTAH: MOUNT TIMPANOGOS (OUCH! THAT HURTS!)

On Saturday, August 8th, the day after Sarah and Brian's wedding, I joined Dave and Bob and the Wrights (Craig, Kevin, Kyle, and Brad) on a hike of Mount Timpanogos. I climbed this mountain fifteen years ago with Dave, Bonnie, and Bob, and I remember it being long and painful, but also spectacular and gorgeous. "What's fifteen years?" I thought. "It might hurt, but it will be worth the pain."

It did, and it was.

We started early while the moon was still out:

UNBELIEVABLE flowers:

The awe-inspiring view during our descent:
The highlight of the trip for Bob: a moose we saw on the way down.

If I wait fifteen more years, I'll be sixty-four years old. I hope I go again sooner than that!
