Hike to Timpanogos Falls

We went on a hike in the mid-afternoon and I underestimated two things: first, how hot it would be; and second, how long it would take.  The hike to Timpanogos Falls is less than 2 miles roundtrip, but the shade is spotty, and the day was hot, and the kids were less than enthusiastic, so it took us a while.  Jack was on the verge of death almost before we lost sight of the parking lot.

You can't tell from the picture, but there's snow under the tree limbs beside Jack.
I don't know if it qualifies as a glacier, as some people call it, but this was in mid-July.
We used some of the snow to cool us off as we walked.

After what seemed like an eternity, we made it to the first waterfall, which was very cool.  We enjoyed getting to feel the cool water too.  Then the kids hung out there for a little while as Ben and I hurried up to the second waterfall.  I sure loved getting outside and seeing a little more of this beautiful area around us.
