"I can see why this is an iconic Utah peak. This is the platonic ideal of the perfect summit hike - great distance, pretty even grade, some fun easy scrambling towards the top, amazing views, and lots of mountain goats, including babies! A perfect day on the mountain - started at about 6:30am and done at lunchtime. " — andrewmadsen • Jul 9, 2021

"I started the hike at 0840 and made it to the switchbacks leading to the summit along trail 54 at 1040. I reached the saddle at 1116 and the summit at 1139. The route surprised me as it was a very steady climb most of the way with very few steeps parts (final climb excluded). My total time was a 5h 51m and the hike totaled 17 miles.

"Started at 1130 at base camp. It's quite heavily trafficked until you turn off the main trail. We met about 5 groups along the way. When we got to the top, at 1330, we had a great view of all of Utah County. We also had a great view of a new fire start along the base of Timp. Warning, the final stretch to the summit is STEEP. Made it to the bottom around 1530, great hike overall." — gome210 • Oct 17, 2020

"Started at 1:30 P.M. or so with my bro, we were back down by 7:00 or 8:00. On the way down just past the saddle, we were stopped for 15 minutes or so by 20-30 mountain goats on the trail. So cool!" — partyhiker • Jul 18, 2020

"Started at 8 AM at the parking lot in Rock Canyon and made it up by 11:30. Pretty steep hike but shaded most of the way. Beautiful overlook at the top. Look out for rattlesnakes." — nicoleglasgow • Jun 21, 2020
