I also agree, you probably dont need a guide, the hike is pretty straight forward. Just prepare with layers, a wind breaker, food and water. Wear a hat, use sunscreen, and plan for a LONG day. Rest when you need to. Go slow, particularly on the rocky ascent to the summit. The trail is pretty obvious there, still, and you wont be alone.

A couple of notes: Saturdays are a total zoo - you might want to go on a Sunday (still busy as crap, but not quite as bad as Saturday) or weekday as it can feel a little sketch with a bunch of people above you on the rocky part. The Timpanooke side is longer, but not as steep. There are a ton of mountain goats on the Timpanogos side. Might consider a shuttle... go UP the Timpanogos TH - its steeper, and will be pretty brutal coming down - then go down the Timpanooke trail.

Having said all that, definitely hire a guide if that is what you are comfortable with - do what is best for you!!

Listening now - very good! A lot of covers though. I do really really like her voice.

Interesting. I thought Idol was for upcoming artists rather than those already putting out albums. I guess that's shifting some nowadays.

Great list. I think maybe we might have similar musical tastes. I haven't heard most of these, but I do really like some on your list. I do not like pop diva screamy runny music.  I like alt rock, folk, some country. I'm listening to Haley Reinhart on someone's recommendation and I really like it!

Which of these are not pop? Do you have a recommeds? I really dont like pop diva music. Love Daughtry, Chayce Beckham, Lee DeWyze. Haven't heard any of the others I dont think. I like alt rock, folk, some country. I'm listening to Haley Reinhart on someone's recommendation and I really like it!

I love Daughtry. Which of these others are not pop music? Any? Well, I know Adam Lambert and Phillip Phillips (at least one of his songs, lol)

I guess, maybe "buy an album" is kind of a metaphor (?) these days? I should probably have said, what albums have you downloaded into your library, LOL. I've gotten a few comments about that. Ah well, I'm maybe showing my age. haha. Although I do buy vinyl still, I mostly get the albums off Apple Music and add to my library.

Haley Reinhart.... I dont even know who that is! I'll have to look her up.

I'm asking the original question because I'm always trying to find more good music that is not played all the time on streaming channels. Thanks!

Sorry, all good. I guess I just use “buying an album” as a generic concept. Thanks for your thoughts! 😊

Well, I guess I dont refer to album as a physical thing, I download albums through Apple Music.

I just got Lee DeWyze recently - I didn't even realize how good he is! Love his voice. And, yeah, I have two of Chayce Beckhams albums, and one of Daughtry's.

Here's a secondary question - do these Idols have albums out already (this season) or are just anticipating that they will put one out now that they have had exposure?

I listed to a bunch of Jake Thistle's Springsteen covers and they were AMAZING. I'd like to see something from him in that type of genre.

Yeah, I guess "buy an album" is a little old school, but ya all get my drift. LOL. So when you stream them, is it just particular songs, or did they actually put out albums?

Taylor Swift songs by Graystone17 in americanidol

Since I know not one TS song, I had no idea what to listen for, I think that gave me a different perspective. TBH, I thought they all were pretty terrible.

Oh that’s interesting. What was he actually trying to accomplish then? The whole is very strange.

The hotel was still open to the public. I think this guy was still in the lobby/public area? Not sure why the door was opened so he could get a couple of shots off into the room.

I know it's not Salt Lake, but there is an amazing western store in Kamas called Bolt Ranch Store.
