During the TERT season, there are communication people stationed at the two trail head huts at Timpooneke and at Aspen
Grove and are there Friday evening through Sunday late afternoon. They provide valuable communication with each other, the High Camp Team and with the Utah County Sheriff's Dispatch. They check in with Sheriff's
dispatch on a regular basis. They provide High Camp with information on hikers heading up the trail. The High Camp often asks them to watch for certain people coming down to make certain they make it okay.
Families have the opportunity to participate. In addition to the communication function, the trail head teams interact with hikers heading up the trail providing valuable information on trail conditions, weather,
distances, equipment needs, and trail etiquette. The Trail Head teams typically camp at one of the improved camp grounds near their huts. |
