I haven't actually tried the watertower route, I don't like confrontation and have no desire to mess with someone's private property. But following Gary Nichols advice in "Trails of the Wasatch". I just started at the Neff's Canyon trailhead and went up North's Fork, past Olympus Spring, and took the 2nd canyon on the Right (this was tricky, it wasn't totally clear what counts as a "canyon". I had to use the map on my phone to judge when I was at the base of the correct slot.) From there it was just a really fun non-technical hike/climb all the way up. If indeed the watertower route is blocked by private property, I would propose Neff's becomes the "standard" route for this hike. I can't figure out how to post a GPX here, but it is on peakbagger at http://www.peakbagger.com/climber/ascent.aspx?aid=580497.
