"I don't think it's technically possible to summit Hidden Peak right now, seeing as it is a construction zone. I got as close as I could. Really weird to be hiking and then just come across this. I love man's dominance over nature!" — Apcook • Sep 28, 2015

"I got an early start and got to the trail head of Cecret lake at 7am. I enjoyed the quite hike to Cecret lake along. When I got to the lake to my surprise I found that I was the only one there. I spent a few minutes enjoying the silence knowing that this place will be packed with hikers later in the day. I continued up the trail over Cecret ridge and up to Sugarloaf pass. After a few minutes of searching I finally found the trail up to Mt. Baldy. It was behind the Baldy Express lift. The trail to Mt. Baldy was a short rock scramble up the side and then a long leisurely hike to the peak. I then continued down from Mt Baldy towards Hidden Peak. Although I had been to this peak three times before (Including ones this summer) this would be the first time there without using the tram. After the shallow sloping trail ended, the service roads started. This meant a long road with many switch backs to the top. Since the trams hadn't started running yet I had this place to myself.

"Initially I had planned on taking Kylee, Cole, and Taylor to the top of Albion Basin to hike Sunset Peak and Pioneer Peak. When we got to the top of the canyon we were told we couldn't proceed because the parking lots were full. We turned around frustrated. I decided to pull into Snowbird with the idea that we would hike to the top of Hidden Peak via Gad Valley. The place was a zoo due to the Oktoberfest. We found a parking spot and headed up "Dick Bass Highway". There were signs that Gad Valley was closed but I had been turned back once today and wasn't about to be turned back again. We proceeded to hike up the service road past Mid Gad and Gadzoom. As we were hiking the kids wanted to experience a little scrambling up a rock wall along side the trail. That added a little adventure to the service road that you follow until it turns into a foot path. I do have to make note of the verbal coaxing that occurred on my part to keep them moving upward. They all did very well. I believe the only way I kept them moving was by convincing them that we would be able to ride the Tram down the mountain if they made it to the top. They seemed very concerned that we wouldn't be able to hitch a ri..." — darinwilson • Sep 9, 2012
