About our hike to Timpanogos Falls. The elevation of Salt Lake City is about 4,300 ft. The trailhead for the falls is almost 6,900 ft. On our 1 mile hike from the trailhead to the falls we gained 660 ft. The trail was very rocky to begin with but then was "paved"--about 18 inches across and very uneven with many places where the pavement had eroded over the years. Near the parking area parts of the trail were covered with the icy remains of winter snow which had us all somewhat concerned about the higher end of the trail. Fortunately that was the only ice we had to contend with. Interesting path. When we left Salt Lake the weather was very hazy, windy and cool. At the trailhead it was sunny, clear, just a slight breeze and much warmer. Great hike!!! It took us 45 minutes to go the 1 mile up and 39 minutes to look, take pictures and hike back down.
After getting back to town we found a little pizza place and ate lunch. Then Hannah took us to the school she will be teaching first grade next year as well as the one she is teaching at this year. Now we can have a picture in our minds when we think about her teaching the young ones. We went to her apartment, a very cute place. After playing Uno Attack for about an hour Karen won once and Hannah and Chuck won the rest of the games

We came back to the room at about 5pm. What a wonderful day!!! So very thankful for, and proud of, our Hannah.
