Description
This is a rather rough, and strenuous hike. In Just around 7 miles you gain about 6,000 ft. Throughout the hike you will be surrounded by beautiful ravines, valleys, wildlife, and rivers. The last half of mile is the hardest, while you have to climb through loose shell, but once you reach the top the view is spectacular! You can see areas of Snowbird Alta, the Salt Lake Valley, Timpanogas, and American Fork Canyon.

Directions to Hike
Traveling on I-15, get off on the Alpine/Highland exit. Head towards the Mountains and turn left at Kolers Supermarket( there is also a Cheveron kitty corner) once you enter Alpine stay on that same road, you will pass a bunch of large pine trees, next make a right and two blocks down make a left. stay on that main road the whole way, the road will make a sharp right, stay on it and at the fork take a right, then on the next road make a left. continue on that road which will become a dirt road stay on it until you reach a large turn around area at the top. the trail head will be on the right.
