Route climbed: Frary Peak Trail
Mostly sunny day with scattered thunderstorms. Noseeums were atrocious on the summit. Spotted some bison. A great way to spend half the day.

Buffaloed
3 of us were stopped by a huge bull buffalo who took exception to us being on his mountain. We were about 1/4 of a mile from the top when this happened. He actually chased two of us back down the trail (I was almost run over by these two who were ahead of me as they were being chased by the bull) We snuck back up above the critter but he was watching our every move. Exciting but no pics as I had my camera in my day pack at the time this all happened. I'll finish Frary another day.

This was a surprisingly fun winter hike. We turned back about 300 yards past the radio tower because it was snowing pretty hard and the rocks were pretty slick. It was still fun to get out of the house though.

I live close to Antelope Island so I decided to take a hike while I was there. The trail is in good condition. Near the top the trail divides around the rocky summit. Bottom trail is easier but the ridge is fun scrambling. On a clear day you can see most of the Wasatch Range.

I hiked this the day after my grandfather passed away. It was an uneventful, slushy, easy going day. The trail was not marked well when it directed to the West instead of up the final ridge to the summit. I tried to place some rocks there for it.
Very quiet, the entire Salt Lake was mirror-still. A little bit of slippery mud/slush near the top, but steps and trees helped out in places.

Got a late start and there was a good bit of snow on the trail. The last bits were untouched (since the last snow). We post-holed up to the summit, scrambled the rocky ridge back to the saddle, and had to run back down to make the 5:00 PM trailhead deadline. Very fun.

Nice early season hike. Excellent views. Last part of trail was a little rougher than I'd expected, but enjoyable. Saw buffalo and pronghorn along the way.

Route Climbed: the only one Date Climbed: 4/3/04I agree with Mr. Wasatch. This is a great early and late season hike. I've seen buffalo at the top of the ridge by the radio anttenas, so watch it!
