Cascade Saddle

June 28, 2025 - Northern Utah

12.7 mi  /  4,468 ft

Alisa, Brylee and I have been training this spring and summer for a run at the top of Timpanogos. Neither of them have ever done it, and I love taking first-timers. :) Unfortunately Brylee was with her dad this day and was unable to join, but Alisa was a good sport and agreed to this long point-to-point route that ended up being like 85% of a Timp hike effort-wise. I think we're ready! This time of year this whole area is lush and beautiful. Maybe a bit too lush...a lot of the trail was annoyingly overgrown. But the view from the saddle (Freedom, Provo, etc.) is always stunning.
