Yesterday a small group of Provo-dwellers and I set off to camp at Emerald lakes. We didn't make it. To be perfectly honest, June is a bit early to be trying to climb 2/3rds of the way up the back of Mt. Timpanogos, but the organizers of the trip seemed optimistic. That should have been a sign. I would have done things differently, but that is neither here nor there. Normally, I wouldn't post about a colossally failed hiking excursion, but the fact that it was an actual backpacking trip gone awry makes it blogworthy. Lugging a 40 lb pack 2 miles up a mountain only to turn back tends to sharpen the cyber-quill of indignation. But, we are planning to try again in a month or so, so I will hold my tongue for the time being.
