HIGH CAMP
High Camp team members spend Friday night through Sunday morning on the mountain, ready to assist hikers in need at any time.
Meet at Aspen Grove & hike to High Camp
The High Camp team members meet at the TERT shack just north of the Aspen Grove parking lot on Friday afternoon. They then hike with all of their gear for the weekend 5.5 miles up to the Hidden Lakes area.
Days at Emerald Lake & the summit
During the day, the team uses the Emerald Lake shelter area as a base camp, where the team members are stationed to provide assistance if any hikers need it. Team members may hike to the summit, interacting with Timp hikers to share information and provide assistance. It's an opportunity to foster a sense of community and contribute to the safety culture on Mt. Timpanogos.
Backpacking experience in all conditions
A High Camp shift is like a two-night backpacking trip, as team members stay on the mountain Friday and Saturday night. While prior backpacking experience isn't required, team members need to have the right gear and conditioning to make this trip. Team members need to make sure they have all the gear necessary for any kind of weather - from thunderstorms, to freezing temperatures, to snow!
