Robert's Horn from the south




From Emerald Lake looking southeast.




This shelter was used for community hikes between 1959 -1970.
One year, over 1,000 people reached the summit in one day.
My dad was one of them.




The fireplace has been cemented closed, here is the plaque above it.



Looking east from inside the shelter.
Everything was vandalized, and the windows were broken.




Emerald Lake from the south.




Scrambling to the top across the loose ground.




The darker layer of snow is a thick blanket of dirt-filled ice,
and is old, much like a glacier.
But, it is probably only about 10 -16 feet deep.
So it is probably not causing much glacial scaring.
It could quite possibly be the last remains of an ancient glacier
maybe as far back as the Quaternary Period (1.6 million years ago)




Almost to the top of the glacial remains.




A view of the Wasatch, the ridgeline peaks are:
Thunder , Box Elder (in the foreground), unnamed, Pfeifferhorn,
Broads Twin Peaks, Sunrise, Dromedary White Baldy, and Red Baldy.




The tiny point at the end of the ridge is the
Timpanogos Triangulation Station. Can you see the trail?




Looking northeast to the Timpanogos Triangulation Station.

that's taller than Mount Timpanogos.

Thank you for taking the time to know the names of the mountains. We're not all hillbillies in Magna, but some people don't appreciate what's under their nose.
