For a description of how to get to this mountain, please check the "Getting There" description on the main page.

Book: Michael Kelsey "Mountaineering in Utah" can be found at Amazon and has a useful map and area description.

Route Description

The description of how to get to the saddle is covered in the "Getting There" section.

Once you get to the saddle at 8000 feet, a short spur road heads a bit up to the east. Take this short lived road and follow the path. This is on BLM land so there is no private property issues for the whole route.

Head east up a non technical slope to the top of Lewiston Peak From the top of Lewiston, follow the ridgeline north to Flat Top. You'll find a mailbox which serves as a summit register and it would be best to reverse your route on the return to your vehicle. The land beyond (north) is private and the landowners won't tolerate trespassing any longer (as we in my group were informed by one of them) so a loop route described by Michael Kelsey in his book is no longer legal.

From the saddle to Lewiston Peak and then to Flat Top, it is roughly 2.5 miles for a round trip effort of 5 miles.

Elevation gain: 2700 feet

Essential Gear

Nothing technical needed. Plenty of water on hot summer days and be wary of
thunderstorms on the high ridge. Snowshoes in wintertime might be a consideration as I'd think this would make a good snow hike.
