Yesterday after work fouristhenewone and I got together to hike up Provo peak. Due to snow, lack of daylight, and pure weakness we chose the direct or "wussy route" up the west ridge... 2800 vertical feet in just under 2 miles. We made the hike in 3.5 hours round trip... good times.

Ummm where is this? looks like a good place to take my daughter for a little hike but I have never spent much time in that area... how do you get to where you are parked etc.

Here is the info for the very steep west route.

Go up Provo Canyon and turn here - 40
