"Beatout" is also used to refer to seemingly almost any hike that traverses the Alpine Ridge for a distance. Some start in Alta, and end at the Pfeifferhorn. Some ride the Snowbird tram up and go all the way to Lone Peak. I've heard all of them called the beatout hike.
The Forest Service did some work on the trail from the Upper Falls to the Upper Reservoir a few years back. The knocked down most of the random cairns and built several giant ones (3 feet tall) to mark the trail. It's much easier to follow now than it was in the past.
