| Hayden | Two times.  Date Climbed: Mar 24, 2012 | |
| The first part was rocky, and we saw a girl and her dog. And we kind of got muddy. There was barely any snow. The second time a week later, it was cool we made it. It was fun to see the triangle structure again. We got muddy again. It was windy, my hat blew off. | |

| I worked 14+ hours the day before and felt compelled to get some fresh air. This was a great after-work hike. I had the mountain to myself most of the time, though I did run into a local teenager who said he'd seen the triangulation structure at the summit and just wondered what was up there. | |

| I could run up every morning from my house to stay in shape but I'm too lazy. Pics and map at http://www.willhiteweb.com/draper_utah/view_benchmark_066.htm | |

| Made for a great two-family, 2 and a half hour outing on a Saturday. Hiked this with my wife and four kids and with Carrie Powell and her four youngest kids. Beautiful day - snow was melting fast, snowy and muddy in places, but not too bad. Great views! | |

| This peak has one of the best views in the Wasatch. On a clear day you can see from Mt. Nebo to Ben Lomond and everything in between. I frequently do training runs up this mountain from various trailheads in Draper that give me 8-10 miles with 1600-2000 vert. Total summits: 58 4/2/10- 4/9/10- 4/18/10- 6/6/10- 11/29/11- 12/2/11- 12/17/11- 1/2/12- 1/6/12- 1/14/12- 1/24/12- 1/31/12- 2/7/12- 2/25/12- 2/27/12- 3/5/12- 4/5/12- 4/7/12- 4/10/12- 4/9/12- 4/23/12- 4/25/12- 4/29/12- 5/1/12- 5/19/12- 5/23/12- 5/26/12- 6/2/12- 6/5/12- 6/15/12- 6/17/12- 6/20/12- 7/4/12- 7/6/12- 7/7/12- 7/17/12- 7/20/12- 7/24/12- 7/26/12- 7/28/12- 7/30/12- 8/1/12- 8/2/12- 8/3/12- 8/4/12- 8/6/12- 8/9/12- 8/15/12- 8/17/12- 8/19/12- 8/21/12- 8/22/12- 8/23/12- 8/25/12- 8/27/12- 8/29/12- 9/3/12- 9/24/12 | |

| I decided to jump on the bandwagon and snowshoe up View Benchmark. It was definitely a hazy shade of winter. | |

| imontop | Fun snowshoe Date Climbed: Jan 1, 2010 | |
| I was headed down to Draper to visit family, so I threw the snowshoes in, knowing that I had a couple of hours free. Had a blast thanks to the great info on the page! | |

| Dean | Many times | |
| I use this for a conditioner and probably hike it several times a month. So far in 2010, I've been up there 9 times with the most recent visit on 5-25. It seems that the snow is about gone and spring is beginning to touch the mountain. On the latest visit, I went and hiked some of the local but lower summits as well on a perfect spring day. I did this one another 12 times in 2011 starting with Greg and Kadee on 1-8-11 | |
