Day Hike to South Thunder Mountain
The summit of South Thunder Mountain, sitting at 11,154 ft, is a superb peak. Located on the Alpine Ridge of the Wasatch Mountains, this peak is criminally overlooked.The Schoolhouse Springs trailhead leads you onto an old dirt road, that switchbacks for about 2 miles through the foothills, before reaching a small meadow. The trail then turns into a single track. Continue for another ¾ to 1 mil...
Horsetail Falls - Dry Canyon
Horsetail Falls is a somewhat short hike located near Alpine, UT. The hike has good elevation gain and will make you work a bit to get there. The reward is worth the effort as you arrive at the falls and take a great view while being refreshed in the mist of the falls. The trail is straightforward and easy to follow.
Follow the Dry Creek Trail (also known as the Deer Canyon Trail) from its sta...

Lone Peak reaches 11,253 feet at its summit. It's alpine feel is unique as it stands above the busy city below. While this gem is one of the highlights in the Wasatch range, it must be earned.

There are a few different approaches to this area, but the Jacob's Ladder ...

Pull into the Pine Hollow parking lot, just before the winter closure gate and watch the show. If you get there early enough you can watch Timpanogos go from the tones of soft alpenglow to the harsh vibrance of sunrise. In the winter make sure you remember enough blankets.

The hay days of the canyon have been gone for awhile now, but what...
Lone Peak via the Cherry Creek Logging Trail
You start this trail at the Orson Smith Park in Draper. It joins with the Bonneville Shoreline Trail briefly before turning off onto the cherry creek logging trail. It switchbacks for a long ways exposed on towards the valley. It is fairly steep in places, but doable. I had tennis shoes with a pretty slick tread and I was fine. Once you get towards the top of the ridge, you turn left aroun...
