Hasn't voted | I've been on this peak several times, and the best routes are the Taylor Canyon and Buess Canyon routes. The Snowbasin trails are too easy and don't offer much of a challenge. Heck, it's a road! From the SLC Airport, it's about a 40 min drive north on I-15. Take the 31st street exit eastbound and then head straight east until you reach Harrison Blvd. Then turn right then make a left on to 26th street and follow it to the end, this is the trail head for Taylor Canyon. The trail is well used all the way to Maylan's basin, then your on your own, straight up the west face. It's pretty steep and rugged, but not rocky. The west face is barren, with very few trees. The Buess trail is further south, same side of the mountain, and alot better. Trails pretty good all the way to the top of the ridge, then it's a scamper to the north to reach the peak. Can't remember the street address though for the trailhead. It's forest land, camping allowed, but not very many good places. If hiking in mid-summer watch out for rattlers!! |
