A friend of mine invited me to join him on an evening hike up Mount Timpanogos from the Timpanookee trailhead for sunset photography.

As we began the hike, a storm rolled in over us requiring rain gear for an hour or so as we climbed the trail.

By the time we reached the large meadow below Timp, the trailing remnants of the storm rolled past us. As we crested up to the saddle, it was time to start snapping photos of the mountain and Utah Valley below. A small herd of mountain goats also on the saddle didn't seem to care as we snapped away photos. They seemed to have solid footing on near vertical cliffs.

I was unable to summit Timp on this trip.

The hike back down to the vehicle was done mostly in the dark with help from our flashlights.
