Jupiter Hill

"Nice little afternoon hike/jog. Decided it’s time for me to start bagging the peaks around PCMR and DV, so here we go! (Guardsman peak should be called tri-county peak, hopefully my change gets approved)" — easton • Sep 10, 2024

"Late start: third parking lot. Needed to go off trail to get to the route. Terrible bugs. Eventually, made it to Bloods Lake and then started the climb of 1200 ft to Clayton Peak. The ridge was steep at points, flat at others, and very rocky, so we moved up and down it at a turtle's pace. Saw the Brighton Cirque Series Race from the top. Decided to go in a huge loop back to the parking lot, hitting Mount Venture (designated on the trail as Peak 10420), and then descending to the road. Then we continued on the hot and breezy trail peak bagging some more, before finding a cut through to the parking lot." — summit • Jun 29, 2024

"Great loop that took in all the peaks around Guardmans Pass. Ridge of Clayton Peak still a few small pockets of snow. Could hear the finish line announcer of the Cirque Series trailrace over at Brighton. View of upper snow on Timpanogos good recon for tmrw. Was fun to see the Hourglass Couloir off Jupiter Peak after skiing it a lifetime ago. In the summer it looks rowdier than I remember. " — scott • Jun 29, 2024

"Continuing to explore Park City... Unsure what to do this morning so, when in doubt, run up a mountain! Plotted out a route up Jupiter and then along the ridge to Guardsman. Incredible views up there. Looped around to Bloods Lake to get water and then slowly picked my way back down Ontario Ridge. One week in and it feels like I've seen about 1% of the trail network. Gotta hurry before the snows come :)" — rsnipes • Sep 5, 2020

"Parked at the pass and headed up to the top of Guardsman Peak where we then walked over to Jupiter Hill and back to the car. Just trying to get another one off my 10,000 Wasatch peak list." — Hilljr • Aug 7, 2020

"I drove 440 miles from home to visit Ed & Linda and run the 15 mile Jupiter Steeple Chase in Park City UT. We bagged Jupiter Peak and Scott's Peak after a 3,200' climb in 8 miles up. Got up Jupiter and Scott's in 2:03 then 2:17...15 in 3:43 hrs Prettiest trails I've ever run on." — paula.raimondi • Aug 1, 2015

"This is Jupiter Peak, or "The Peak", I've summited numerous tims in all seasons. Winter is nice as you can take Jupiter, Pioneer, or McConkeys lifts to get you most of the way there. In summer you can take Payday or Town lifts from PCMR to give you a head start up to about 8,000ft." — mkisow • Mar 6, 2011
