| mountianeer1080 | Route Climbed: from N. Ogden divide Date Climbed: 6/21/05  | |
| Definitely a beautiful view from the top. The trail was nice and not very steep, I'm sure it will be a lot better when all the snow melts. I just step kicked up the face when I lost the trail, but you can go up the ridge to the south around the snow. It took me 3.5 hrs to reach the summit from the bottom and 2 hrs coming back down. Next time I plan on hitting willard peak as well. I would recommend this trail for anyone. | |

| What an amazing trail! My dogs had fun chasing the mountain grouse all over. Saw A large male ans small juvenile mountain goat on the summit. They were kind enough to let me take a few great photos. Then saw a mountain lion up on a cliff on the way out. Got some nice shots of it as well. Never seen a cat in the wild!! Lots of snow still. Beautiful summit! | |

| Ben Lomond is a great mountain. It is always a good workout because of the length of the trail. I have seen a lot of moose on the mountain. I don’t remember details about when I first hiked these routes. North Fork Park and Cutler Basin in Fall of 1995. North Ogden Pass in June and September of 1996. Willard Basin in July 1997. I have climbed Ben Lomond many times since then. | |

| Did Skyline trail with Grampa when I was 8 or 9. Lots of dirt (motor) bike riders on the trail back then. | |

| rmjwinters | Route Climbed: Skyline Trail Date Climbed: Sometime 2000 | |
| My curiosity got the better part of me, so my wife and I schlepped up the heinous trail. It seemed we gained 500 ft in 5 miles. It is a mountain bike trail and not steep with way too many switchbacks. Chalk this one up to "I've hiked it and don't have any desire to repeat it!" | |

| Big Mountain! Trail isn't very steep no matter what route is taken, but plan on a long day. You'll feel it in the morning! Popular trail, so there's always good stories to swap and people to meet. | |

| Several ascents. Skyline trail and North Fork Park trails are long, but gentle grades make for easy hiking. Willard Basin route is short and sweet if you have a high clearance vehicle. Outstanding views. | |
