"Longest hike i’ve done and most elevation gain. I’m tired. Hike wasn’t bad up until the scramble. I am not great with exposure, so it was a wobbly leg kind of day. Moves weren’t hard, it was just the big cliffs on either side. Apart from that though, a really nice hike! " — PatMcM • Oct 2, 2025

"Good long hike, been wanting to do this one for years. Took Jacobs Ladder trail from Peak View and standard route from cirque. Trail can be easy to lose but seemed like all paths led the same way. Lots of sun exposure. This one is up there on one of my favorites in the Wasatch and may have a spot on the "would do again" list. The scramble was mellow, with excellent holds and no loose rock, probably similar to what I remember from the Pfiefferhorn. What made this one hard was the distance and elevation gain. Helped a hiker summit from cirque area where their partner bailed, and then she descended with another party. Saw 1 grouse, 1 chipmunk, and 4 small lizards. clocked 16.34 miles and 5,784ft gain.

"Bagged Grandeur Peak today, 7/6 The road to the main trailhead parking lot is open 8am-10pm, and if you're like me, you prefer to start your longer hikes before then. Well I didn't actually know it would be closed, but I would have made the same decision had I known. My parking on the road was about .5 mile away from the trailhead, and that was a very uphill walk. It was worth it though, because there were several waterfalls on the way from the main road to the trailhead, that I wouldn't have been able to fully appreciate from inside the car. My total mileage was 8.3, Vert 2,584." — ghostofsws • Jul 6, 2025

"Mount Timpanogas Via Aspen Grove We started hiking around 7:45 am, on 6/21. We took tons of breaks for photos and snacks and made it to Emerald Lake around 3:25 pm. There, we dropped our 30 pound packs at the lake, and took another break for more snacks and to filter some water. After a brief "battle" with some mountain goats, we abandoned our packs to their mercy and continued to the summit with smaller day packs. We made it to the summit around 7:30pm. From there, we hiked the ridge to the glacier, and glissaded down. Basically, we sat on our butts and slid down the snow back to the lake, cutting about a mile off of our return hike to our camp. Our total mileage on 6/21 was 9.79. We camped at Emerald Lake overnight, luckily the goats had given up the territory we had claimed and they chose to camp somewhere else, our bags remained unharmed minus some potential licking from the goats. We woke up around 5 am to rain, and pulled our bags inside the tent and slept a bit longer. We started our descent down the mountain around 10am and made it back to the car around 3pm. Our mileage on 6/22 was 5.71 mi. The total trip mileage was 15.5, and total vertical ascent 5,034. This was s..." — ghostofsws • Jun 22, 2025

"Up the NorthEast ridge to North Timp. Then over all the bumps on the ridge to SouthEast Timp. Down the snowfield to Emerald Lake. Bonus side quest to Robert Horn before back to the car at Timpanokee." — bobbyut • Sep 30, 2024
