Mount Timpanogos is easily one of the most popular hikes in Utah, and likely the state's most popular summit hike by a large margin. Timpanogos dominates the landscape along the central Wasatch Mountains and has long inspired adventurers and storytellers.
Home to Timpanogos Cave National Monument, mass hiking expeditions of pilgrims have been exploring the mountain, especially its many summits for over 100 years.
Timp's popularity and cultural significance to the people of Utah are perhaps unrivaled, but with all that love comes very heavy use. Please make sure to abide by all wilderness guidelines including NO DRONES IN WILDERNESS AREAS.
You can read more about wilderness guidelines at wilderness.net.

Trailhead #2: Aspen Grove Trail 15 miles (out and back) 4839 ft

Probably one of the most well made and informative videos I’ve ever seen on the subject. Very very well done. Thank you.
Our pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. We hope you’ll check out our other videos as well.
Beautiful! And what a great legend. Thank you for sharing 🙏
The legend was entirely made up by BYU professor Eugene Roberts in 1922. But it is a beautiful place.
Our pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it!
From what we can tell, there are around 12 versions of the Timpanogos legend. It is almost certain that Eugene Roberts is largely responsible for the story entering public consciousness. Frank is likely right that Roberts was a driving force in the creation of the story.
That being said, like most legends, not enough is known about the story's origin to give Roberts exclusive credit. Since Roberts others have added to and altered the telling.
This hike makes Angels Landing seem safe in comaparison.
Both trails that shouldn't be taken for granted. It's hard to say which is more hazardous. Angels Landing seems to experience fatalities more often, but it's also much more accessible. By the time you reach the Timpanogos Basin beneath the summit (where our hiking footage begins), you've already been hiking for around 5 miles and risen around 3000 ft.
The prerequisite for even attempting a bid for the summit of Timpanogos is far beyond what is required for Angels Landing. You have to be reasonably competent to climb Timpanogos. Still, there are more than a few people who get in trouble when climbing Timp. I was there last year when the body of a lost hiker was recovered from Timp.
It was a potent reminder that nature sets the rules. Hikers need to use good judgment whenever and wherever we travel.
Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
I did 'The Timp' a couple times ~ 20 years ago. This well made and edited video has allowed me to relive the experience.
Thanks! Glad we could take you along for the journey.
Lindo lugar/beautifull place
We agree. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What the heck ? Did I miss another wonderful place when I was in Salt Lake City 2017 ? Like the Wasatch National Forest i missed then . Thank´s for another great movie .
We're constantly learning about locations we "missed" as well. Totally sympathize.
But we also love knowing we have an excuse to return to these spectacular locations. So glad you enjoyed the video. We hope you make it some day. Mt Timpanogos is well worth the effort.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!!
well that is a terribly sad story about the mountain but sure is a beautiful hike WOW thanks for taking us along
Glad you liked the video. It's a trail that we treasure.
The story is definitely sad, but we love how Wild Spaces inspire people to contemplate their connection to the land. The stories we tell and pass on add a human factor and opportunities for contemplation.
That's definitely something we want to nurture. Thanks again for watching!
I'm looking at timpanogos right now I remember hiking to the top of it in 2018
We look up at this mountain almost every day, and spend a great deal of time exploring the Wasatch. What trail did you take in 2018?
Going to hike this weekend!! Hyped!
Have fun. Stay safe. Respect the mountain and your fellow travelers.
When did you hike this? Was it early October by chance?
Thank you for the great video! I wanted to get an idea of the exposure and scramble factor and your video did just that.
Glad it was helpful! It's a terrific mountain. Stay tuned for a video of an alternate route and summit in the coming months.
Thanks for sharing video of beautiful Mt. Timpanogos. I used to live in Utah to study English. Everyday I was looking Mt. Timpanogos from my apartment window.
Our pleasure! We love this mountain.
Heard great things about Mount Tip! So glad I stumbled across your video😁. Can’t wait to hike that mountain 👍🏼.
Timp is a terrific mountain that punches well above its weight. Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope your hike of Timpanogos is a success!
Thanks for watching and commenting!!! We hope to hear from you again!
i grew up looking at this mountain, i grew up in utah valley till i was about 11 and then we moved in 2018 to florida
We grew up in near Timp as well. Love this peak. Love Florida too!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Harvested a lot of deer on the west side great Mnt been to the top multiple times
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for sharing. Incredible video!
Thanks! It's an incredible hike. We had really great material to work with. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Gonna do it next year hopefully. Not in good enough shape at all this year, if i had more time this year i would for sure.
Well worth your time. Best of luck!
Amazing! I hope to do this hike on my channel eventually
It’s a wonderful mountain, that is very much being loved to death. Have fun, be safe, tread lightly.
is the hike going back down hard? my wife and i would like to try and hike it. i just want to know if the hike back down is dangerous, slippery?
That very much varies from person to person. It's nearly a mile of vertical gain and drop. It can be very hard on the knees on the way back down. This late the season there is almost certainly icy sections.
If you and your wife have experience hiking 15+ miles with 4500 feet of elevation gain and drop, then this trail should be manageable.
A caution: Climbing timp has become a mostly social goal. But it's best to make sure you're good on the fundamentals and comfortable on longer hikers before attempting to summit Timp.
You two are amazing . I hiked Cassidy arch because of your video on it
That is awesome! We hope you had a great time, made some memories, and experienced the sacredness of Wild Spaces first hand.
Thanks for watching! We hope to hear from you again.
I really like your thumbnail and your video quality is great! The The thumbnail introduces the video really well, and the video itself is really well made. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Will do!
Good video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing movie, great work !!! :-)
Thanks! We love this trail.
great video. The only thing you forgot to mention was to "Leave no trace" maybe you could include this message in further videos!l
Thanks for the feedback. Leave no trace is actually the second message that appears in this video. We do appreciate your advocacy. It is absolutely critical that we take care of our Wild Spaces.
Hi. Good stuff. What month was this hike in?
Thanks! This was filmed mid-September.
Check out the guide book Climbing and Hiking Utah's Mt. Timpanogos. Written by a man that grew up hiking all over Mt. Timpanogos. You can get it at kelseyguidebooks .com.
Do you need a permit to backpack this trail? Awesome video by the way!
Glad you liked it. It's a spectacular mountain.
No permit required, but there are wilderness regulations to follow. Most of the important ones are mentioned in this video.
Hope that helps. Thanks for watching. If you end up hiking Timp, please return and share your experience. Happy Trails!
@@HomeInWildSpaces ill be there Sunday!!
can you sleep in the summit hut?
Technically yes, but I wouldn't advise it. The summit is a busy place, and I wouldn't expect much sleep. Better to campout at lower elevations and hike the last couple miles early in the morning if you hope to catch the sunrise from the summit.
What time of year was this hike done in?
This footage was capturing in mid September 2019.
What is the music featured in the video? I love it 🤙
"Locked" (instrumental) Jay Denton
"The Glory Fields" Ben Winwood
Hike mountain nebo the southern most and tallest summit
On our list. Thanks for the tip!
I hike MT nebo in 2019
People are always going to call it "The Timpanogos Glacier" because that is its name. Doesn't matter if it's actually a snowfield.
You are probably right. Referring to the snowfield as a glacier is baked into Utah's culture. That being said, we always want to make sure we give the most accurate information possible.
Some people may view the distinction as unimportant, but we believe their is great value in addressing misconceptions. Still, thanks for your feedback. We very much appreciate it!
Do Lone Peak, they are in the same area, check out my Lone Peak video. I love both mountains. But the magnitude of the Lone Peak cirque is amazing.
We feel the same way.
Nice video by the way. We’d be remiss though if we didn’t mention that flying drones in designated wilderness areas is prohibited.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Happy trails!
