Squaw Peak - Sort Of

We didn't exactly have directions to get to Squaw Peak. We finally just stopped at what appeared to be a "trail head" and started "up. From what descriptions and pictures I found later, I know we still didn't find the real deal, but what we did find was a perfect, hike with full valley views.

I love hiking with Pat. We hike at the same pace, we complain about the same stuff, we "oh God!" about the same incredible views, we take tons of pictures and we tucker out at the same time. One can't beat that.

These pictures are from the trail which overlooks Utah County. The first picture looks over a gorgeous mountain valley and the lower one over Happy Valley. We could see our respective residences and all the local landmarks: The Provo Temple, BYU, Utah Lake, Mount Nebo.

And..... the receding snow fields of Mt. Timpanogos. Tick Tock.

I won't be able to hike next weekend :( But, we have customers in town for the next two weeks and they are avid hikers. We plan to take them back to this spot, do the "Y" and probably another one or two. And there will be a couple of BBQs. (Our customers are like family.)

The weekend after next we have another hike planned too - probably somewhere on the Nebo Loop. The perfect summer!
