Review:
Mount Timpanogos (aka Mt. Timp) is the second highest and the most dominant mountain in the Wasatch range, standing guard over the Provo, Orem, and Pleasant Grove areas, approximately 45 miles south of Salt Lake City.
The mountain is very popular with outdoor enthusiasts and there are three trails (varying from 12 to 16 miles) for hikers to choose from, which will take you to the summit and back.
Mount Timp is home to the only true glacier in Utah, and in spring and fall many climbers take the challenge to reach the summit via the glacier route using ice axes and crampons.
You will see a variety of wildlife, including moose, mountain goat, deer, and pika. Campers can pitch a tent at the Timpooneke Campground, but motorhomes and trailers are discouraged on the steep and winding Alpine Highway. Map
