| We made it! |
The return hike down from Timpanogos Basin retraced the 5.3 miles climbed yesterday and dropped 2800 feet in 3:32:40 hours total elapsed time, including 33:09 minutes of rests, most of which were letting heavy traffic pass but which also included a glorious pause to purify, drink, and enjoy delicious stream water not quite two-thirds of the way back to the bottom. Tortoise rating: 4.0.
Footnote: Miles walked since June 28 ... 93.47. Click here for a couple pictures with a moose we passed, one a close-up, one showing his distance from us.
Cheerio!
That moose is crazy talk, glad they were nice and gentle and didn't charge you guys!
ReplyDeleteAs you can see in the second picture, the moose is a good distance from us. I was also looking forward to seeing the herd of mountain goats that live up on Timp, but guess they were feeding elsewhere this time. This was the best looking moose I have ever seen ... the ones that ventured into our backyard in Alaska were scrawny in comparison. :-)
