I was in Utah for a wedding yesterday so I thought I would try my luck with Timpanogos today. I knew it was very early in the year and it still had lots of snow on the peak and had been falling the last couple weeks. It was also supposed to storm today but I am not really smart enough for those things to stop me. I started early and it was below 30. The sun was coming up and going up hill I started peeling layers off a mile into the hike. I had heard this was a great hike and even though I went to school there I never did it in college. I could not believe how scenic it was. Absolutely beautiful. The first 2.5 miles the trail was very wet but not a problem. Once I got to 3 miles I started walking on a lot of snow. The next half mile took me almost 30 minutes and it started getting steep and slick. I kept on losing and refinding the trail but it go to hard to follow. Also being by myself, I did not want to get to crazy so I turned back. As soon as I did the storm rolled in and it started snowing. Going down was pretty fast. Once I got back to the trail head I dumped some extra clothes and headed down the Cascade Springs trail. Beautiful waterfall. I then went an extra 1.5 miles over to Sundance then returned. Great day. I love our Arizona trails but I wish I could go on more of these Rocky Mountain hikes, amazing scenery.
