A Jaunt up Timp
So last week I got a call asking for some help with our scouts. Apparently the adults talked the older boys into hiking up Timp. Not being one to turn down an opportunity to camp, I jumped on the chance.
True to form the kids wound up deciding not to camp as my neighbor and I were ready to go. But that wouldn't stop us. So Jamison and I headed up AF canyon and just kept driving until we found a spot to pitch our tents and sack out for the night. A few minutes of scrounging turned up plenty of firewood, and we had quite the enjoyable evening.
The next morning we quickly packed up, and headed to the Timpooneke trailhead. Following the example from the day before, what was supposed to be a large group that they needed help with turned out to be only 2 kids, which left us oh so dissapointed :).

For anybody who hasn't hiked the Timpooneke, It's quite a bear. At a little over 6 miles, with some amazing elevation, it is not a simple hike. Add to that the remnants of our late snowstorms, and it was a very strenuous journey. But the views were to die for, and the water was running over the various falls at full height.
