| Great hike on a clear weekday. Saw no one else the whole way. Great views of the Great Salt Lake and Nevada Salt Flats from the peak. | ||

| weeds19 | Loop hike Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2002 | |
| This was the first peak we climbed after moving to Ogden, UT. The peak was wonderful, but the campground at the TH was marred by the incessant sound of numerous generators running. | |

| Lots of snow still. This peak was a lot more fun than I expected. The view is pleasantly different from the Wasatch. | |

| highonpeaks | South Willow Creek Loop and the inebrirated children foundation Date Climbed: Aug 26, 2006 | |
| This was an awsome day hike loop with great camping at the bottom of the trail area. I ended up at a crazy party the night I stayed there. As I was walking through the camp area that night I heard all this music thumping and crazy kids all over the place obviously inebriated. Which was approprate because they were part of the ICF (Inebriate the Childern Foundation). They were a fun great group of kids that welcomed me off the trail to come party with them. I figured why the hell not. I could use a beer! | |

| Great hike, but didn't summit due to deep snow (on Memorial Day!) It would be safe to say I got lazy. | |

| apachedino | Nice loop Date Climbed: May 17, 2006 | |
| Still lots of snow when I went which made for some real fun head first glissading down. Pretty area in contrast to the proving grounds. Amazing views, from Ben Lammond to Nebo to Swasy to Ibapah. You can really tsee the geography of Utah from here | |

| Outdoorpartner | Nice loop hike Date Climbed: Oct 5, 2004 | |
| One of the few summits where you can take a different trail down and end up at the same place. Have done this 5 times. | |

| A friend and I climbed Deseret Peak today and came down the north trail (loop hike). Awesome views of cliffs and other mountain ranges in the distance. Very nice day weather wise, cool with a nice little breeze. | |

| mtn_pika | Awesome views | |
| Climbed in September 2005 with Susan. Extremely windy at the saddle, but the wind died down at the summit. Beautiful sunny day with extraordinary views towards the Great Salt Lake and the west desert. | |

| mtn runr | Fun in the Sun Date Climbed: Apr 11, 2006 | |
| Well, it was supposed to be. Actually, the summit and our route there was enveloped in cloud most of the day. We found the gate locked at the forest boundary, 4 miles short of the trailhead, so we got an extra 8 miles which made for a fairly long day. The clouds cleared after 2:00 PM and we got good views on our way back. Climbed with SPer, MOCKBA. | |

| This is a beautiful hike through a beautiful wilderness area that is a pocket of color and form amid surroundings largely lacking them. | |

| deafutahhiker | Route Climbed: normal trail Date Climbed: 8 August 2004 | |
| This was a great trail, and also great for me because I could identify many types of wildflowers and wildlife here. Saw deers up close. Deseret Peak is unlike Wasatch mountains peaks due to the fact that the peak isn't surrounded by mountains. The view goes out to the great expanses of the Salt Desert and Salt Lake. Really awesome. | ||

| 1000Pks | Route Climbed: Trail Date Climbed: July 16, 2005 | |
| The trail goes all the way to the top, now.It's said to be about 3,500' gain total. Used ice axe to surmount a snowbank, but hikers can clamber around this. Warm in the Loop campground, with biting flies. Nice summit views, with about a dozen others summitting this day. | |
