A note concerning the mountains shown above:

Mount Timpanogos

This mountain rises to the height of 11,957 feet, over a mile in verticle height from the valley floor. Mount Timpanogos is the most imposing mountain in the entire Wasatch mountain range. The hike to the summit is 8 miles each direction, and if running, the ascent can be done in about 3 hours. The summit sits next to a 1500 foot precipice on the east side, which ends at the bottom of a ice-cold mirror lake. Mirror lake is usually fed by the year-round glacier that sits on the backside of Timpanogos. That glacier which in later years has disappeared, used to be a quick means for descending (sliding down) from the summit ridge.

Lone Peak and Box Elder Peak

Situated in a vale between 2 mountains on the north (Lone Peak) and the east (Box Elder Peak which is part of the Wasatch range). Lone peak extends to 11,253 feet. Hidden between Lone Peak and and Box Elder Peak is Dry Canyon, which extends a few miles back, towards rugged mountainous terrain.
