Today, my brother-in-law Ben and I visited what is known as the "Red Man Pictograph of Timpie Valley." After studying still pictures, a video and the map (see link above), we set off to find the cave on the side of a very large foothill beside a much larger mountain.

It should be stated here that while I live at an elevation of 5000+ feet in Denver, I rarely hike straight up the side of a mountain... in fact, never! Ben set off, with Cinch...
After taking the picture of Ben, I also set off, but eventually I had to set down... out of breath. The view was pretty amazing, even though there's no greenery during the winter as you look out at the Salt Lake and its surrounding mountains. We're actually really close to the cave at this point.
We did make it. The hike took about 15 minutes, and we stopped to see another small cave along the way. They are quite interesting looking in and of themselves; but with the rock art, it's definitely worth the hike!
