Climb per mile: 766ftAscent Rating: 1.4Distance Rating: 1.1Overall Rating: 3.2The GPS data has correct elevation data for all points except the starting elevation, so it is over-reporting the climb.I recorded the trip in 3 separate tracks and merged them together, but EveryTrail is reporting the length .6 miles over for some reason.This isn't the furthest I've gone on this trail, but it is the first time this year that I'd not encountered...
(Stats for trailhead to saddle. The summit is not included in this rating)Climb per mile: 1,163ftAscent Rating: 3.6Distance Rating: 1.9Overall Rating: 6.6My first Mount Olympus trip this year. The trail/gps track for this trip is extremely accurate, although I did lose the elevation data. After reaching the saddle, I was worried I wouldn't have enough time to climb up the peak but I did so anyway.. sustaining an ankle and knee injury that...
Lone Peak is the "notched" peak at the top of the huge mountain on the south side of the road as your traveling up Little Cottonwood canyon. The peak is visible from most of the Salt Lake and Utah County areas. All approaches to the peak are long with substantial elevation gain. My son (Tyler) and I decided a couple weeks previous that we were going to do the hike. A friend...

A great early-in-the-year hike. Much of the hike is exposed, so the snow tends to melt earlier than on other trails, although in May, there will often be snow still in the canyon. Hiked this with my 5 year old son.
Climb per mile: 885ftAscent Rating: 2.3Distance Rating: 1.6Overall Rating: 4.7Since I didn't have much time for a hike, I figured the Desolation to the Overlook would fit just right. It was my first time on this trail actually.. or at least this section of it.It was a pretty consistent climb all the way, and the seemingly endless switchbacks were balanced out by all the shade and a well-established trail.It was a good...
The Ensign Peak Trail is an incredibly accessible trail for those in the Salt Lake area. Those simply seeking some amazing views of downtown and the bordering Wasatch front will be happy to learn that a mere 15 minute hike is all it takes to achieve just that. Those looking for a little more of a challenge or looking to get a little further away from the tourists hanging around the monument...

Hiking | 14.2 miles (16.7 miles away)
I hiked Lone Peak with my 9 year old son and a good friend. We ascended following the Jacob's Ladder trail. While we had read that there was limited/no water July on, we found ample water at the junction (which cuts across to Outlaw Cabin) as well as further up the trail. At about 10k feet, we were heading off the trail to allow my 9 year old to use the "facilities"...
Our family held a family reunion in Park City in 2007. I thought that while I was in Utah I would attempt a peak. Lone Peak turned out to be a fairly tough hike. I started around 5AM, solo, and made it to a false summit at around noon. Unfortunately, I only had my GPS track (no map, mistake), and I climbed myself into a dead end. ...
