We started on this hike at 7:20 AM. Approx. 6900 feet above sea level.

The trailhead is located in the Timpanokee Campground. It’s well-marked. There’s a trail register at the trailhead, which was kind of neat seeing who had been on the trail recently.

The trail was pretty unremarkable. Easy to follow, easy to walk. It was gently sloping, with a few steep parts. There were a few boulder fields (but you’d expect that on a mountain, eh?), some parts that were covered with scree. In general, though, this trail was quite nice.
<– This is part of the trail, towards the trailhead.
<– This is Goat hiking about midway through.

<– A boulder field.

<– One of the snowfields. This is not as easy as it looks.

<– The view towards midway through our hike, nearly halfway up.

<– So, so pretty.

<– Goat next to the edge of one of the snowfields.
<– This is the one we didn’t cross. It was about 9120 feet above sea level and 5.5 miles from the trailhead. It was around 1:00. (We took a few breaks so Wally could stretch his legs.)

<– Avalanche damage, a tree broken off. This is the top half.

<– This is the bottom half, on the other side of the trail. Interesting to us Iowans.

We hit the car at about 3:30 or 4:00, we walked as fast as we could coming back down.
