Actuated by a belief that tourists cannot fully appreciate the beauties of Utah without having explored the mountains of the state, an invitation to climb Mount Timpanogos will be extended ex-tended to the delegates to the National Education association convention by the Utah Mountain club, according to J. E. Broaddus, secretary. The convention con-vention will be held at Salt Lake during dur-ing the week of July . The Utah Mountain club is co-operating with the Timpanogos club, the Provo Commercial club and the commissioners com-missioners of Utah county to make the proposed ascent a reality. "The only glacier in the state is on Mount Timpanogos," Mr. 'Broaddus said Saturday. "The climbing of this mountain would give the average tour. 1st a clear impression, of the mountain grandeur of Utah. Travelers look at our mountains from a distance and think that they are only foothills. If visitors were made acquainted :i with our beautiful and stately peaks the scenic wealth of the. state would be given favorable publicity everywhere. "The trip to the top of Mount Timpanogos Tim-panogos could be taken in conjunction with the annual climb pt the Timpanogos Tim-panogos club. The cost to the educators educa-tors would 'be nominal, the fees being only of such an amount as will cover the cost of transportation and food." Dana Parkinson, chief supervisor of the Wasatch national forest, said If interest in-terest In the climb is sufficient he believed be-lieved the forestry department would appropriate money for trail making. |
