Hike Timp via Timpanuke

The Beginning!!!!
Normally, we would conquer this hike late July or August-- Possibly September. But October? What were we thinking? The week before it snowed in SLC. Those of you who know me... once I have a plan it is really hard to stop me. My plan was to take Dakota up and hike the back side of Timpanogos. So here we are. 
 (Please note, early this week, I watched fox news- the weather report was 80 degrees and clear skies) We saw the blue sky for about 3 minutes sporadically during our five hour trip. Note to self- Don't watch fox news weather, stay up til 10.

hiking.... 
 
Here we are, feeling good, we have shed some layers. It is amazing how warm you get when you are hiking up and up and up. I think we stopped to shed layers 3 times in our first hour.

Checking out the sky--They look blue but definitely not 80. Sunny? um for about 3 minutes before the next gust of wind comes by and brings the gray clouds
