| scgrant | Mt. Aire Date Climbed: May 5, 2013 | |
| 5/5/2013 Church Fork Peak: From the Church Fork trail we followed an old faint trail that cut through the brush to the ridge a few hundred yards before Church Fork Peak. From Church Fork Peak we followed the Millcreek ridge to where the Burch Hollow trail intersects it, and then followed that trail back down to the pipeline trail. We followed the pipeline trail back to the Church Fork trailhead making for a nice loop. We measured our success in the fact we kept the bushwhacking to a minimum. 12/23/12 Mt. Aire: We followed the Pipeline trail from Burch Hollow to the Elbow trailhead and then on up to Mt. Aire. | |

| seanpeckham | from Church Fork via Grandeur Date Climbed: Oct 2, 2011 | |
| Ran from Church Fork to Elbow Fork by way of the ridge from Grandeur Peak to Mt Aire, ~11 miles. Used a bicycle shuttle. I've run the next two ridges to the north, and this one scratched up my legs the most; whoever wrote the bushwhacking is not so bad, was probably wearing long pants and boots, not swim trunks and Vibram Five Fingers. Between the bushwhacking delays and the fact that it was my first run in a couple months, I ran out of food, water, and stamina before reaching Mt Aire, but I forced myself up (had to walk) anyway, and it was a beautiful day of pink bigtooth maples and yellow box elders, with some aspens also starting to go off. | |

| Fleshj27 | Steep little Sucker Date Climbed: Sep 24, 2011 | |
| Had a strained thigh, so was looking for an easy and flat walk...this wasn't it. Summitted Mt Aire in a less than spectular time, enjoyed the outstanding view, declared victory and limped down the hill. | |

| americanswiss | Aire and Church Fork | |
| Don't consider Millvue a peak, but Aire and Church Fork are great peaks in their own right. Just East of Church Fork Peak is a grove of trees and thick vegitation that provides lovely shade on a hot day. Nice wildflower area too. Came up from Burch Hollow. Pristine views to the South of Millcreek's mountains and thick evergreen forest. Seperate day up Burch Hollow to do Mount Aire. Extremely faint trail exists on North side of ridge to meet saddle below Mount Aire. Many toads on the way. Descent via Elbow Fork. | |

| Ed F | Mill Creek and Mt Aire | |
| I've never climbed Church Fork, but I've been to the summits of Mt Aire and Millvue lots of times ski touring in the winter. The views from both peaks are really great. | |

| ericwillhite | Mt. Aire, Church Fork Peak, East Aire Date Climbed: Nov 27, 2010 | |
| {There are 4 peaks with 400+ prominence here) Did Mt. Aire Nov 13, 2007 in record summer like conditions with my kids. Did Church Fork Nov 27, 2010 in winter like conditions. Two very different Novembers in Utah. Trip report for Church Fork at http://www.willhiteweb.com/mill_creek_canyon/church_fork_peak/grandeur_391.htm Also did the east peak of Mount Aire (Peak 8490) on 5/7/2011 from the GWT-Lambs Canyon access. Now I just need the Millvue Peak highpoint which is 3/4 mile east of the labeled Millvue Peak. | |

| Wisemtn | The Aire Up There Date Climbed: Aug 22, 2010 | |
| Hiked with Caroline, Dustin, John, and Kathleen. We were going to hike Mount Raymond but were rained out and turned around after a half mile. Once down Big Cottonwood, the weather cleared so we decided to do a quicker Mount Aire run. Short but fun. Encountered a horny toad at the top which was quite friendly. Couldn't find a marker or register though which left me disappointed. | |

| Had to do an extra mile to get to Millvue, because the winter gate was still locked. It opens July 1. Went via Elbow Fork. | |

| brekgrover | Elbow Fork Date Climbed: Apr 25, 2010 | |
| Climbed today via Elbow Fork with my boy. Great day. Only saw one other guy who said he had a Moose encounter near the saddle. We saw tons of Moose tracks and scat, but no animals (thankfully). Very muddy and granular snow up top as to be expected this time of year. Great mountain with great views! GO UTES!!! | |

| Matthew Van Horn | Church fork peak from Mt. Grandeur Date Climbed: Jan 8, 2011 | |
| Why are these peaks grouped together? 01/08/2011 Traverse from Grandeur to Mt Aire. 02/13/2010 Millcreek ridge traverse from Grandeur west ridge to Mt. Aire saddle. Lots of snow, scary cracks forming on the steep lumps of soft snow. Joe and I looked for an hour or more to find a safe place to top the rocky west ridge of Church Fork peak. | |
