My favorite mountain of all time is located in Utah. It is Mount Timpanogos. At first glance, it may seem like an ordinary mountain, but it really is different. First, there is a dead Indian Princess across the top (see diagram below). I grew up hearing two different legends both ending in her death. One was that she sacrificed herself to save her tribe. The other one had to do with being so sad that the love of her life was killed. It is a fun story and makes the mountain easy to identify, but that isn't the only great thing about the mountain.
The second thing I love is the Cave, which is a national park. The formations throughout the cave are so interesting and the hike to it is great for all ages. Seeing the mountain again has definitely been one of the highlights of this trip. Perhaps, I'll have to come back in the summer so I can take the kids on the hike.
