For Labor Day, Benjamin and I hiked Mount Timpanogos up to the 9800 feet elevation level before we had to turn back to make it in time for an afternoon barbeque.  We went up the Timpanooke trail, which was absolutely gorgeous.  I was really pleased that Ben could do so well and we have resolved to get to the top next year.  I had some pain in my shins, but otherwise, no pain of any consequence.

I think it is 11,747. We weren't the only ones with the idea to hike on Monday. We got there at 6:30 and the parking lot was already full. We ended up parking a mile from the trail head.
