| derekthered | snowy november hike  Date Climbed: Nov 15, 2009 | |
| hiked this with some friends in the morn. we decided to scramble over the ridge to the summit instead of taking the standard trail. the snow made this part a little sketchy, but it was loads of fun, and the views were spectacular. | |

| This has to be one of the most scenic hikes in the state and it is remarkable that this kind of environment is so close to the Wasatch front and hardly gets any notice. It definitely doesn’t feel like anything else I have been on in the area and the views and scenery were incredible. I did this hike with Kristina and we took our time taking photos, watching buffalo, smelling the flowers and takin’ in the views. Incredible vistas on top and I think one of the best views anywhere. I’ll be back again and again. | |

| MikerHiker | SNOW!!!!!!!! Date Climbed: Dec 21, 2008 | |
| Tons of snow, It was very windy and the trail was windblown with drifts that I had to negotiate. The snow was about 12 inches deep and the drifts were a lot more than that. Kadee told that when I hit the last part of the hike to make sure to NOT take the ridge. Well I saw some Chuckars on the ridge and decided I needed to follow them to get some pics. after all how bad could the ridge be with 12 inches of snow on it. "note to self" Don't take the ridge in the snow!!!! I ended up backtracking to the tower and taking the trail. It was still very slippery and I fell ALOT. On top was awesome, the view was Great! | |

| byates | Nice off season hike. | |

| Dean | Re: Charged by bison on Frary Peak Trail. | |
| Same thing happened to me. Here's the log entry: Buffaloed Date: Jun 4, 2006 3 of us were stopped by a huge bull buffalo who took exception to us being on his mountain. We were about 1/4 of a mile from the top when this happened. He actually chased two of us back down the trail (I was almost run over by these two who were ahead of me as they were being chased by the bull) We snuck back up above the critter but he was watching our every move. Exciting but no pics as I had my camera in my day pack at the time this all happened. I'll finish Frary another day. Note: I went back and got it last year as posted in log entry. I hope you got some that you can post. ; ) | |

| Wasatchvoyage | Charged by bison on Frary Peak Trail. Date Climbed: Nov 22, 2008 | |
| Ryan, Luke and I headed out to the island early and started up the trail without too much drama. That changed about half way up, about two miles into the hike, near reaching the ridge crest. We were all focusing on the trail, when Ryan yelled out and he and Luke started running in the other direction. I looked up, and about 50 feet away a large bull was starting to charge us. We all ended up running up the hill for a couple hundred yards, and the bison stopped and just stared. Got the adrenaline going. After snapping some photos we continued up to the summit, taking the ridge scramble to the summit. The rest of the hike seemed mundane thereafter, however with the bison and the ridge it made for a great hike overall. Loads of fun. | |

| Kadee | Bugs! Date Climbed: May 17, 2008 | |
| A great hike, but tons of bugs. I loved the views from the summit. I had a beautiful day for this peak and could see for miles. The flowers were out and were beautiful also. | |

| LonePeakFreak | Snowboarding on Frary Peak Date Climbed: Jan 12, 2008 | |
| After looking out my office window toward Frary Peak for three straight months debating with my coworkers whether or not you could ski/snowboard down it, I finally lugged my board up to the radio tower/antenna thing just below the summit ridge and rode it down after summitting. I had to stop a few times because it flattened out, though. Overall I couldn't recommended it, but it was still enjoyable. There was a ton of snow on the mountain and the day was clear and hot. The summit ridge was pretty sketchy - crampons were very helpful. A trail patrol officer was waiting for me at my car when I got down, but he didn't seem to care that I had been riding (although he certainly thought it was odd). The trail was very difficult to follow in the snow. | |

| I have climbed this little mountain many times, but doing it in the winter made it a bit challenging. Alot more snow then we thought and in some parts the snow was waist deep. I love going out to Antelope Island, its a great place to go and get away. | |

| lcarreau | Not buffaloed! Date Climbed: Jun 10, 2001 | |
| Did somebody move the buffalo??? Back in 2001, all the buffalo were grazing in one spot, well to the southeast of Frary Peak. This allowed my nephew & I to climb it without a worry. Great views from this pleasant summit. | |

| Beau | Nice Autumn Day Date Climbed: Nov 3, 2007 | |
| Climbed via the standard trail on a super nice day in November. Needed to get away from things for a few hours and breath some fresh air. The trail is really great and the views from the island are cool. | |
