Sunrise on Timp
We had some great snowfall yesterday which lasted overnight to cover our nearby mountain peaks, including this photo of Timpanogos from my front room. Winter is definitely on its way, and I’m psyched to get snowboarding again soon!

Exploring Sundance
Early this summer, we took the kids up to Sundance Ski Resort to ride on the lift. It was a gorgeous evening, and had a blast riding together on Ray’s Lift.

Moonlit Lift Ride
Throughout the non-winter months, Sundance Ski Resort has full moon lift rides, which are perfect to take the wife to on a date night. We bundled up, brought a blanket, got some hot chocolate, and ride the lift round-trip to see the moon, stars, and scenery at night.

Scout Falls
I found a neat setting on my P&S which allows greater control for waterfall photos - this was taken with the “Fireworks” setting. Seems logical, as I wanted the streaming water, much like the streaming fireworks.
On a hike up to Timpanogos, I took only my P&S camera due to weight, and with a little editing, I think I found a decent photo. Timpanogos is an amazing hike. Climbing from about 7800’ to 11,700’ in a day will kick just about anyone’s behind. It’s about a 5 hr hike from the bottom of Timpanooke to the summit, and this is a photo of Scout Falls - just 40-45 minutes from the Timpanooke parking lot. An easy hike with kids for such a beautiful location!
Take a look at my hike with MotionX for the iPhone here.

Backcountry Sunset
This weekend I joined our local scout troop to backpack Mt. Timpanogos for an overnighter. After the sun had gone down, the colors in the sky kicked into high gear. I captured this with the “Sunset” setting on the P&S Panasonic DMC-FP1 camera.

Lighting Up Dry Canyon
A few weeks past (and since then) we received a ton of lightning, and in my attempts to capture some of the action, here is my best one. Just over Timpanogos, a lighting bolt or two hit the mountain range and light up the sky. This is also directly above Dry Canyon in Lindon.

Follow the Sun
After hitting the Saddle of Timpanogos and going as far as we wanted that morning, we made our way along the trail to start our decent back home. The morning sun had just breached the horizon and was above the clouds in the distant sky.
What a trip! It’ll be something I’ll never forget, and a hike which I’ll conquer again this year and many more times. I learned more about myself in that day and 1/2 than I have in the last few years. It was a spiritual experience with nature.

Rainbow of Light
Catching a last bit of sunshine in the Aspen Grove waterfall produced a rainbow of light flowing over the mountainside.

Green Paradise
Walking along the Aspen Grove Timpanogos trail to visit the 1st and 2nd waterfalls. This is a 1.2m hike, and rated easy. Much of the hike gives you a break from the sun as you walk along shaded canopies, but bring lots of water!

Timp Waterfalls
On a previous hike with the family up the Aspen Grove trail of Timpanogos, we hit the 1st and 2nd waterfalls which are found along the path. Pictured is the 2nd waterfall - a ton of water streaming down maybe a 25-30 foot mountain wall.
This hike is perhaps the most beautiful that I’ve been on in Utah. It’s an easy hike - just 1.2 - 1.4 miles from the Aspen Grove parking lot, making it closer than the Stewart Falls hike with 2x the beauty.

(+3 more over at Flickr)
11,000 feet above sea level, here we are finally on the Saddle of Timpanogos. Below us looms Utah Valley, including Utah Lake and cities such as Nephi, Santaquin, Spanish Fork, Springville, Provo, Orem, Lindon, Pleasant Grove, American Fork, and Lehi.
The view is breathtaking in-person!

Aspen Grove
The morning after hiking Timp I woke up early to capture the sunrise. Looking towards Sundance Ski Resort, the sun gently came up over the horizon and lit up the whole mountain side.
