Skyler has begged me since last year when I took Jayden to hike Timpanogos mountain to take him on the adventurous hike. So we finally got the 14 mile hike in before the weather got too cold. He was a real trooper. We started at 6:30 a.m. and only took one break before we reached the saddle that overlooked the entire valley. We ended up hiking on a very cool day. It wasn't too bad until we reached the saddle. Then the freezing wind started blowing. We only took a 5 minute break and knew we had to hurry up to the summit before the storm came. It felt like winter. We only stayed about 5 minutes up at the top and took shelter in the little shack along with the 20 other people that had made it up. We were planning on taking our time an eating our lunch up at the top, but wanted to get down past the saddle where the wind dissipated as quickly as possible. Once we were back on the other side of the mountain, we relaxed and ate our lunch. Grandma Woobie met us at the bottom with the other kids. They hiked up a small portion of the trail. It was an amazing hike with an amazing young man! I loved the one on one time I got to spend with him. Hopefully both Jayden and Skyler will want to do it again next year and on a much warmer day!
