| MAero | Too early  Date Climbed: May 25, 2013 | |
| Tried the Willow Creek route but it was way too early in the year. Hit snow at just below the second creek crossing in the canyon. Should have started earlier because postholing was a problem all the way to the summit. We tried traversing on the rock where possible, which helped. The Pockets Fork route looked like it had less snow from the top but without knowing the condition of the headwall we decided to glissade down the way we came. Next time I would definitely wait for late June or early July. | ||

| Spring ski of the Twin Coliours with summit of Deseret. Climbed the eastern col and skied to the top. Skied down the westernmost col which gets more sun. Great day about 6 hours car to car. | |

| I have done this loop a couple times. It is a dying gem, sadly. Pine beetles are tearing up the forest. Go soon if you want to catch it at its most beautiful. Views are great from up top and you can combine it with Stansbury Island nearby, or camp. Good area. | |

| joseyinnet | Great way to escape the heat Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2012 | |
| Did the loop around. The valleys on the descent were amazingly lush and green and the whole mountain was covered in wildflowers. Really fantastic hike. | |

| harbor | Up Pocket Fork Date Climbed: Jun 30, 2012 | |
| and down Mill's Fork. Very beautiful. In my opinion this is the way to do it. Mill's fork seemed pretty bland me compared to the Pocket's fork side. Great day. Great hike. So many great flowers to enjoy and photograph. (Also 9th Utah COHP). | |

| boisedoc | pleasant hike Date Climbed: Jun 22, 2012 | |
| made a quick hike up this after driving down from Boise. Haze of Salt Lake City ruined views of the Wasatch. I did the loop hike which was not as ideal for trail running as returning down the South Willow trail | |

| BKW | Nice Mountain Date Climbed: Jun 11, 2012 | |
| After an "austere bivouac" on my sister's floor in Eagle Mountain my brother and I punched this one out and were back in time for lunch. This was my first mountain outside the Pacific Northwest; I was charmed. | |

| mtybumpo | Wonderful Area! Date Climbed: Jun 2, 2012 | |
| What a great day! Deseret was surprisingly easy for an ultra-prominence peak. Also did North and South Willow Peaks. Once again, awesome place! | |

| Ender's Shadow helped me to climb this guy. It's a very pretty mountain and I highly recommend making the trip up it. Surprising to see this in the desert. Thanks Deseret Peak! | |

| Did the South Willow/Pockets Fork loop with David, with the best scenery encountered on the way down from the top. | |

| Up South Willow Canyon, down Pocketts Fork with Stephen. Nice change of pace from the Wasatch. Saw very few people, which is always nice. | |

| I was quite impressed with the amount of water in the Stansburys (this was one of my first Great Basin mountain range hikes). The wildflowers were striking and abundant, a perfect frame for the rugged north face of the peak itself. Beautiful. | ||
