| Drove up early in the A.M. to do this one and check out the surrounding area. Went just past the cattle guard area to where the 2WD trailhead begins, and found the 4WD section blocked by the Forest Service. Followed Moogie737's route directly east up the mountainside, then followed the ridge south to the summit. Once arriving I was appalled that the entire summit area has been stripped of vegetation by sheep, and literally every square inch of it is covered with sheep dung. Seems as though the herd must have really inundated the summit area for some time to make it look like that. Otherwise the summit views were fantastic, ended up following the north trail section mentioned by Dean back down to the trailhead. After this relatively easy hike, I headed down to Castle Dale, on up to Huntington and up Huntington Canyon to check out the Crandall Canyon area. Was very surprised to find an incredible memorial for the miners who died in the mine collapse in 2007 there, just under the East Mountain Summit area. An interesting day, yet sobering. | |

| Utah County highpoint number two for the day. Came down from the Wasatch Plateau Skyline Drive after doing South Tent Mtn and found the road very passable but also dust chocked. The bushwhack along the wooden rail fence and then up the steep grade was nothing if not demanding. The deadfall is treacherous, and it's in stark contrast to the open, flat summit terrain. Found only a triangulation marker at the summit. | |

| After being shut out in May due to road closures, I went back with a shortcut and climbed it. I followed a trail for a ways but then just left it and went straight up to the summit. The summit smelled like a farm because a flock of sheep had recently been on the summit, even found a dead sheep practically on top of the benchmark. The road closure mentioned in my mind is bogus. There was a huge herd of cattle tearing up the meadows that were supposedly closed to motor vehicle access "due to the damage done by motor vehicles". Looked to me that cow pies and hoof marks were the real culprits. | |

| Dennis, Andrew and myself enjoyed a nice hike to the summit of this relatively mild mountain and enjoyed the views we were treated to. | |
