About 300 million years old, Mount Timpanogos rises almost 7,000 feet over Utah Valley. It is composed of limestone and dolomite and shows signs of extensive glacial activity with U-shaped valleys surrounded by sharp ridges.

A very popular hiking destination, Mount Timpanogos offers a 14-mile round-trip hike that is very steep. Hiking is possible year around, with different levels of difficulty.

At 10,380 feet, hikers can see glacial Emerald Lake, and many ridges, slopes, waterfalls, and various species of conifers along the trail.

The mountain is rich in wildlife – you might see moose, deer, mountain goats, cougars, marmots, and pikas. When you get tired of roughing it, visit Heber Valley at the foot of the mountain for some golf, dining, and an unexpectedly luxurious hotel.
