Hike: Mt. Timpanogos

This past weekend my wife planned a fantastic date for the two of us. She isn't the biggest fan of camping. She knows that I am so she decided to go out of her comfort zone and plan a camping trip as a surprise for me. We started out by renting a tandem bike from Outdoors Unlimited on BYU campus. We rode for about an hour and had a blast. If like riding bikes and you've never ridden a tandem bike it's a real treat. Very different balance than a normal bike but just as fun if not more so. Luckily there were no accidents along the way. Afterwards we grabbed some things at the store, ate out at Wallaby's and headed up the canyon. It was late when we got up there so we basically just set up camp, made a fire (of course) and went for a starlit stroll. In the morning I got up and made another fire (of course) and we had a simple breakfast then headed up to the trail. Here are some pictures of our adventures along the trail. We didn't go to far. Both of us got tired pretty fast. I'm just plain out of shape - as you can tell by the dearth of "Bike:[insert title]" blog posts. Serena however, has dance classes during the week and she's on her feet all day at work so I can see why she was tired. Anyway, we made it up to the second falls, had lunch, then came home via the Alpine Loop which was just beautiful. The leaves were starting to turn colors and it wasn't too warm. I gotta say, my wife couldn't have done better!
