Hasn't voted | I followed City Creek canyon up to Rotary Park, then turned up (at the first Rotary park sign) to the north to get onto the west ridge of Grandview. I followed this snowy ridge to within a quarter mile of the summit. I turned back because I was utterly pooped. The ridge is doable on snowshoes in winter. City Creek canyon is accessible, and the ridge is fine for a winter ascent. | |

Hasn't voted | Winter may be nicer for Grandview since the bushwacking wont be as bad. I haven't found a trail yet that goes directly to the peak since it has been snowy each time I've approached it. | |

Hasn't voted | One could also visit Grandview after hitting Lookout peak from the south- The GW trail contours the hillsides and eventually gets pretty close to Grandview. Just down the ridge from Lookout (to the E/SE), the trail veers off to the north heading towards Grandview. I don't know if that makes sense- The trail marked on USGS topo maps is there. This can be accessed at the top of Emmigration canyon (at the top of Killyon canyon), or from Afflek Park in Mountain Dell canyon. The bushwacking wont be as bad from this approach, since you're on a trail until less than a mile from Grandview. | |
