Show 1009 Trek to the Top Of Mt. Timpanogos For 39th Annual Hike Hikers, 1009, in number, from many points in the globe and throughout the nation, scaled the 12,008-ft. peak of Mt. Timpanogos Timp-anogos Saturday for the 39th annual Timp hike. Richard R. Whitney, 83, and Richard Wallenhaup, 5, both of Salt Lake City, had the honor of being the oldest and the youngest hikers to reach the summit. Trekkers came from 20 states with 15 hikers from Idaho being the largest out-of-Utah delegation delega-tion to participate. There were two hikers each from Brazil, Belgium and Hawaii, seven from Canada, and one from France. The 1009-club came away with medals to show their conquest of the mighty peak and were nursing sore feet and tired limbs as mementos. |
