"Up the NorthEast ridge to North Timp. Then over all the bumps on the ridge to SouthEast Timp. Down the snowfield to Emerald Lake. Bonus side quest to Robert Horn before back to the car at Timpanokee." — bobbyut • Sep 30, 2024

"Came along the ridge from shingle mill and looped back down the road to the Rock Spring Campground. The ridge between East Provo and Provo was steep, loose and unpleasant. Only redeeming quality was some really cool coral fossil in among the sliding slate. " — bobbyut • Jul 6, 2024

"Burst out of bed excited that it was finally the day to tackle this classic peak. We started out from the parking lot a bit after 7am loaded down with crampons, ice axe, mountaineering boots, and other gear that I never took out of my pack. Was hard to get a good read on conditions beforehand so brought everything. Turns out the snow crossings were extremely easy to navigate and easy to kick steps in the soft snow. After reaching the saddle, the wind kicked in and cooled us off in 30 seconds. Enjoyed the scenic ridge climb to the (eyesore) shack on the summit. We explored a bit farther along the ridge to get a better view of the glacier — amazing there’s still one here. The descent was quick — did some gratuitous glissading — and after a long trudge filtered some waterfall water, chugged, and finished off this official peakery classic. " — scott • Jun 30, 2024

"One of the most beautiful, but difficult, hikes that I've done. This was my second time, though the first time was ten years ago. We got there around 6:40 AM and only got a parking spot because someone just happened to leave. The trail was very busy, with most hikers having started in the very early morning hours. It was an absolute perfect day! We had jackets on for the first 10-15 minutes and then long sleeve shirts kept us comfortable for the rest of the day. We saw several mountain goats, most of which were by Emerald Lake. From the ascent to the saddle to the summit was pretty brutal- steep and rocky. Fantastic, unmatched views though! For me, the way back was about 3.5 miles too long. It was a long day. I was pretty done with it!" — BENTHEREDONETHAT • Sep 16, 2023

"I can see why this is an iconic Utah peak. This is the platonic ideal of the perfect summit hike - great distance, pretty even grade, some fun easy scrambling towards the top, amazing views, and lots of mountain goats, including babies! A perfect day on the mountain - started at about 6:30am and done at lunchtime. " — andrewmadsen • Jul 9, 2021
