Hanging with the goats on timp...

This last weekend I went on a midnight hike up Mt. Timpanogos with my friends KayAnna and Jeff. The hike was awesome, having hiked Timp several times I expected a simple hike with beautiful views and amazing wilderness. Wasn't exactly the case this time. We got up to the hut by emerald lake and took a nap for about an hour before we started towards the summit. As we started hiking again I started to feel really sick, and it only got worse as we went up. Nausea, light headed and completely disoriented we got to the top and laid down and waited for the sunrise. Not fifteen minutes later I found myself on my hands and knees throwing up. Despite the altitude sickness the view was amazing and was grateful to be with friends on the top of a mountain.

Hiking down we were able to be ridiculously close to the goats in the meadows, love these photos!
