It was awesome. I took my skis clear to the top, ended up climbing back down to the bottom of the glacier because of trail conditions. Hiked back up and skied down.

Hasn't voted	Mount Timpanogos has a local Legend to it. The Legend is about an Indian Princess and an Indian Chief that were in love with each other. One day while the Chief was fighting in a war, an arrow hit him in his heart and he died. When the Princess found out about his death, she climbed to the highest mountain she could find and jumped to her death. The spirits of the Chief and the Princess went into the mountain to be together forever as Mount Timpanogos. To this day they are still part of Timpanogos. If you look at the slopes of Timpanogos that faces Utah Valley then you can see the profile of the Indian Princess laying down. If you were southwest of Timpanogos in Utah Valley and looked northeast to Timpanogos you will be able to see the profile of the Chief's face. The location of the face is just a little bit north of the summit. In the caves of Timpanogos there is a heart called The Great Heart of Timpanogos. This heart is the combinded hearts of the Chief and the Princess.

Dean, why are you using the Lat/Lon for South Timp on this page? The 11,749 ft peak has a Lat/Lon of N 40.39090 W 111.64598

Hope this helps.

Thx
