Thread: Best hikes in northern Utah

    IMHO.... The hike up is more scenic as you climb what they call the Giant Staircase.... also you are hiking in the shade on the way up. It's not as steep, easier hiking. If you really want to see it all spot a car and hike up Timpoonke and down Aspen Groove.

    Kings Peak definitely comes to mind...

    Olympus ain't the most scenic, but it's a must as far as climbing a SL Valley landmark, in my opinion, and the view is great.

    Yeah- it's a valley landmark, but it's not a great hike
    .

    Mt. Olympus is actually very scenic from the north. It depends on which side you come up.

    IMHO.... The hike up is more scenic as you climb what they call the Giant Staircase....
    I think they are both very scenic. Aspen Grove has all the nice waterfalls (which is why I would give it a slight edge); much more than Timpanooke, though both routes are very much worth doing.

    Anyway, my top 10 might be as follows (there are so many to choose from):

    Timpanogos (via either Aspen Grove or Timpanooke)
    Second Summit via Razorback Ridge (Timp)
    Allsop Lake/Deadhorse Lake Loop (add Cathedral Peak as a bonus)
    Beatout (Red Pine to Bells)
    Sundial from Lake Blanche (or just to the lake if you don't like scrambling)
    Broads Fork Twin Peaks (via Broads Fork or Tanners Gulch-as a bonus add the Triple Traverse). For a really easy hike; just to the meadow.
    Red Castle via East Fork Blacks Fork (add Wilson Peak as a bonus)
    Silver Glance Lake (add Red Baldy as a bonus)
    Henrys Fork Peak
    Hayden Pass to East Fork Bear River via Lightning and Priord Lakes (add Priord Peak as a bonus)

    Some are easy; some more challenging.

    Devils Castle would be a nice runner up to the list above as would Dromedary via Lake Blanche.

    Great suggestions. Those are all hikes I want to do some time.
