Mount Timpanogos Trailhead

Outdoor adventures along the Mount Timpanogos Trail are highly recommended!  Staying at Sundance lodging allows easy access ...

As the name implies Mount Timpanogos Trailhead leads to the peak of "Timp" (the name is usually shortened by locals).  This mountain peak is regarded by those who live in the region as the most impressive of all the Wasatch Mountains. 

Timpanogos rises to an elevation of 11,749 feet (3,582 m) above sea level.  See wikipedia for an excellent review of Mt. Timpanogos.

Winter Activities.  During the Winter months, the Alpine Loop (one of the best scenic routes in Utah!) is closed beyond this location.  Since the loop is not plowed it remains snow-packed throughout the winter.  This allows for easy access to 70 miles of snowmobiling trails starting just past the Sundance Resort (download this map)

On the same trails you may go cross-country skiing and there other trails that are excellent for snowshoeing hikes, like the trail to Stewart Falls.
